Thanks for the response, I had not thought of that. I'll look into it, but I think that the root of the problem is that iPad apps are sandboxed so that you don't seem to update any files within the J folder. I can get files to the root level, I just don't seem to be able to edit them from that position. I will see if evernote allows me to change the contents of the J folder (but I doubt a third party app would have this access).
