Yahoo Slurp often make traversal mistakes on my site, but it is not what you
describe. They decent to wrong levels when presented with the Apache
interface to directory contents. Are you sure it is always Slurp? Also, are
the paths they look for somehow meaningful to you? Is it possible that they
all come from a different site? Maybe search these names and find the
commonality...
