I'm guessing that freenet does a listing to decide if there exists a 
valid datastore. It would not be to efficient to open every file just 
to make sure it exists, doing a listing is much faster. As the 
directory listing probably returns names in upper case, it will fail 
and re-create the store.
But this is of course all speculation as you have not verified if linux 
returns names with uppercase characters.
