Ok - i'm wrong about part of that last post - I found another CD more recent than the one with the less-deep directory structure - this one exactly resembles the one that I have been trying to deal with - just with less data. The caps are there in that one too...(on the linux box) Could I be looking at a permission issue? I moved the whole folder from one mac to another before I did the burn, and when I look at the permissions on my linux box (comparing the older data that works to the newer data that has lost the caps), the permissions are different... I'll have to take a closer look before I post again - just wanted to get this out there

Power solved (?)

OK. Here is what I found.

I copied the files to my windows box, and did the burn from there. The directory structure retained the capital lettering when viewed on my linux box (yehaw!)(?).

About a month ago, I upgraded my macs to Jaguar from OS 10.1. It was slightly before I upgraded that I made my last update to my photo site (burned on the mac) - when everything worked ok. This issue must have something to do with Jaguar when I make a burn that alters the permissions (??) or something else that makes the linux box see all directories and files as lower case.

I am still stumped as to what has changed - Will do some research, and post back if I find anything more out.

(Thank you LivinFree and Perderabo!)
