I guess I'm really sure what you're trying to figure out. Windows decides the
short filename, not Synchronet. Synchronet should get/store the same file name
that you see when you run "dir /x" on the file. If you replace the file *after*
you add it to the filebase, that could change the short filename which would
cause a mismatch. Did you do that?
