I was browsing through our sitemaps account summary and google was telling me it couldn't find FIFTEEN links....bit suspicious because i regularly check this.
i then find out that most of them were from pages in a folder named "spanish_property_info" whereas the folder is actually "spanish-property-info".
G has a problem with this as well. I'm always finding links in that area that are either years old, or like you, never even existed. I have to keep constantly creating 301's from these bogus links to either what they should be, or closest match. Rick

So is this the only way round? to MAKE the directory and pages that google THINKS is there and route them with 301's?
is there no facility to inform google that they dont exist?

No, you don't need to MAKE the pages, you don't need the pages for a 301 redirect. Just make the redirect. When the bogus page is called upon, the real page will show up.
