Most likely because someone copied a scene and renamed in in windows/explorer - 
we had the same thing here, never happened before then suddenly on this show, 
point caches are being written into funny named folders - which works by 
querying the scene name and path to write!!  Found animators had copied a scene 
which was working to another one, then renamed it!

Subject: Scene file name incorrectly displayed?

Some of our scene files are returning a different string than what is displayed 
in the either the file system or the SI window.

For example, we have a scene file named '001_02SMB_lipsync_v011.scn.' It shows 
this name in the file system (in this case Windows Explorer, and in the SI 
browser). But when we run "Save As..." the string defaults to reflect a 
previous scene state '001_02SMB_anim_v011.scn'.

So I opened up my script editor and printed the active scene name 
(Application.ActiveProject2.ActiveScene.Name) for my scene entitled 
'001_02SMB_lipsync_v011.scn'. Sure enough, it returned 
'001_02SMB_anim_v011.scn'.

If I run 'Save As' and manually rename it to what it should be, then any 
subsequent queries to the active scene name are correct, return an expected 
result, and our Save Incremental tool works fine. But for that initial 'Save 
As', it defaults to the string name of a previous state.

Any idea what's going on?
