Unless I am mistaken, the above means that twist.mov isn't actually a
movie file, but rather a redirect file that references two others
(twist00.mov and twist01.mov) that are the actual movies. MPlayer looks,
but can't find them. Perhaps they used to be there, but got deleted or
moved somewhere else.

Check the size of the file- reference files are quite small; also, they
are often plain-text, so try `cat twist.mov' and see what it looks like.

If what I've written above doesn't seem accurate, then go ahead and try
CVS and then upload the file / send bugreport.
