Rob, over at MacOSXHints.com, ran into a problem similar to one I recently had.

Basically, if you create an alias in your Finder sidebar to a network share — for instance ‘iTunes Library’ on machine1, then rename the sidebar alias on machine2, Finder will rename the actual folder, not just the alias! This can lead to problems with other applications or potentially even operating system errors on machine1 where the folder actually resides.

Rob has a quick demo of the problem up on his site: http://www.macosxhints.com/images/105aliasbugs.mov
