[Bug-gnupod] Case sensitivity in directory path names

I just installed GNUpod on a virgin iPod (3rd generation), which I reformatted from HFS to VFAT using the instructions provided in the documentation.

After mounting the disk and restoring the firmware, I used the gnupod_INIT.pl -m /mnt/ipod to create the directories.

The first attempt to add a song resulted in this error:

address@hidden ipod]# gnupod_addsong.pl -m /mnt/ipod/ /tmp/m.mp3
gnupod_addsong.pl Version 0.94 (C) 2002-2004 Adrian Ulrich
-- FATAL -- Could not copy /tmp/m.mp3 to /mnt/ipod//iPod_Control/Music/F16/0_m.mp3: No such file or directory ... skipping

Done

It seems that the gnupod_INIT.pl creates f01 through f16, however the addsong.pl seems to be case-sensitive (looking for F01 through F16), as the following shows:

address@hidden tmp]# ls -l /mnt/ipod/iPod_Control/Music/F15/
ls: /mnt/ipod/iPod_Control/Music/F15/: No such file or directory
address@hidden tmp]# ls -l /mnt/ipod/iPod_Control/Music/

Of course I know that VFAT does not differentiate between upper and lower case in filenames, however the mechanism used within gnupod_addsong seems to be case-sensitive.

Any suggestions?
