Looks like some dos tool is in action. (8.3 and uppercase)

Golded can do mappath to change the path. I don't know proboard but other software could force 8.3 filenames too. This feature is for compatibility with dos environments.

I would stop the batch scripts and do them line by line manually to see when the 8.3 names are created exactly.

A quick workaround would be to change all filenames to 8.3 uppercase.

Kai
