When you rename it make sure you rename it filename.eps. Another thought: How big is the file. When I transfer a file from my Mac to my PC across my home network it creates two files on the PC, one with the _. and the original file. The _. File is some sort of ghost file that doesn't work and I just trash it. It's not very big, either. Look on your hard drive for the original file, you might be getting both of them and not looking for the original once you find the _. file.
