One possible hint:
I've seen this happen when the server directory contains two separate
files which have identical file names on the Mac, which treats names in
a case-insensitive manner. Example, the directory contains
myfile.exe
and myfile.EXE
this can happen pretty easily if you have people saving from multiple
platforms or locations.
