That is another idea worth trying.

In my case, the datasets in question are being created by an FTN tosser,
squish.  Squish, for some reason, writes the pathnames in the flo files in
UPPERCASE, but is writing out the actual dataset names in the flo files in
lowercase.

When linux binkd reads the flo file, it cannot find the dataset because the
case in the flo file (lower) doesn't match the case that DOSBOX-X has
written out (UPPER).

I am not sure if I would know for sure the names each time. I would also
suspect that, after sending the dataset, binkd might delete the symlink it
found that matched the proper case.
