Oh, if that's the problem, that'd be easy to correct for in addfiles.js. I read the problem report as being with the case of the file list itself, but re-reading it now, I think you're right: "the filenames in the filelist are all CAPS". I can add a thing to auto-detect the correct filecase easily.
