John,
I just whipped up the following simplistic Perl script. Put it in the
directory in which the JPG files live, give it a name like renameJPG.pl
and then
chmod 755 renameJPG.pl
Then to run it, type
./renameJPG.pl
and it will rename all files ending with JPG. By the way, this will
NOT work on FAT32 filesystem directories. Let me know if you need
it to and I can modify it.

----------The following line must be the FIRST line of the script.
#!/usr/bin/perl
opendir(PINS_DIR, ".");
@dir = readdir(PINS_DIR);
closedir(PINS_DIR);
foreach (@dir) {
next if !m/JPG$/;
$before = $_;
s/JPG$/jpg/;
$after = $_;
print "Renaming $before to $after...\n";
system("mv $before $after");
}
print "\nAll files in this directory have been renamed.\n\n";
----------The previous line is the LAST line of the script
