Hi Henrick -

Colin and Sascha are right, I've seen this occasionally too - the 
extensions are missing, and the files are sometimes tagged as Unix 
Executables. Usually the files themselves are fine - just change the 
extensions (or restore them if they're missing) back to .exs and the 
files should regain the proper icon and be usable again by Logic/EXS 
(you'll have to restart Logic or refresh the EXS Instrument menu, 
however).

This has happened to me when the files were restored by some server 
backup software, but I've seen it in other cases too.. Sascha is 
right, OSX is kind of a pain in the ass with this sort of stuff 
sometimes, not to mention the whole Logic long-name-short-name 
nonsense..
