This sounds like the Fcreate bug that Allan Pratt addressed some time ago.
I was actually going ask if this is fixed in the new ROMs but I guess it
is since he knew about it.
The problem is that Fcreate doesn't check to see if the Fdelete it does to
remove the old file is successful and goes and makes another file.
Being the foolhardy git that I am I would storm in there weilding a disk editor
and change the names of the duplicate names directly. Re-open the disk and
save what was useful.
