No, they aren't all lowercase.

VFAT stores filenames as they are created.

If you do 'touch BlA', it will store 'BlA' and not BLA nor bla.

(but 'BlA' 'bla' 'BLA' .. are all the same files , with check=r)

Then you (fedora) aren't using a vanilla kernel. Seems like RedHat
needed to add broken patches once more?!

*hmpf*

That's fine :) .
If the patch is working, '-o check=r' should also make 0.94 working
fine.

This WFM:
$gnupod_addsong.pl Foo\ Bar.mp3 
gnupod_addsong.pl Version 0.95test1-CVS (C) Adrian Ulrich
+ [MP3 ][  1] Foo Bar.mp3                      | Unknown Album          
         | Unknown Artist          

What's wrong with this?

gnupod_addsong.pl can read from stdin:

$ find bla | gnupod_addsong.pl -

Everyone asks about this feature, i added it to the FAQ ;)


thanks,
 Adrian
