Have you got your mount options right? Is your flash mounted as
file system vfat not as msdos? in case of wrong file system type
or mismatching mount options you may get the result you
describe. This is a problem with the file system driver and file
system definition of vfat (and old M$ systems not preserving
case). The problem shall not exist, when you use a Unix file
system (e.g. ext2) on your flash drive (or destination drive).
