KBA-01067: Add Files says I have a duplicate file but I cannot find it in the catalog. Why?

Question:

Why does the Add Files tool tell me the file I want to add is already in the catalog even though I can‘t find the file?

Answer:

Security may prevent you from accessing the folder location in the catalog where the file resides.  The duplicate check includes all files, regardless of your ability to access the file.
