It would be a good idea to do some testing on the beta server before using the GWtoolset in production, it's a lot of work to make changes to large numbers of files on Commons. These type of mistakes will then be filtered out by the time you do a batch upload. Here is a write-up <http://www.beeldengeluid.nl/en/blogs/research-amp-development-en/201407/first-batch-upload-wikimedia-commons-using-gwtoolset> of my own workflow. As for filenames, each name must be unique. So try and create a unique name by using e.g. the title field, identifier field and date as a combination.
