sounds like Permissions Hell to me. I did this once and have still not found a suitable fix. my situation happened whilst transferring files from one computer to another. afterward, I saw that all my files were successfully (or so I thought) transferred over and I deleted the originals. something f**ked up happened to the files in the process and they would never open again, although all icons and file sizes were consistent and correct. one day I will deal with this again.
