I think I did have that problem once and the way I got around it was to create
a vfat filesystem for that directory.

You can use dd to create a small file and then format it as vfat, mount it to
/mnt and copy your files over, and unmount and remount to the new location and
add it to fstab. This is one way I found around the issue, but I'm sure sure
it's going to help in your case.

You could create a symlink from the lower to upper case name if you know what
it's going to be in advance or after the dos program has run? I'd need to know
more about how it's used I guess.
