I have now reread your mail and yes that bug has been there a very long time.

A bit of history : files coming through filegate are all as standard 8.3.

This way mbse can deal as needed but the issue as far as I remember is when 
non standard
file names come through it does a poor job of converting the format for Linux 
when the
input file name is not confirming to dos std (8.3).

Are these files from other sources i.e., you downloaded them and hatched  them 
etc ?
As this scenario is where I see this problem so just have to remember to name 
them
correctly.
