When I try to change the case of a file on a fat32 partition, I get an

Just my curiosity here, WHY do you need to change the case? (I have never understood why *nix allows names that differ in case only for some names and not for others.)

The files in my image collection do not have a consistent case now. I have variations like "IMG_xxxx.JPG", "IMG_xxxx.jpg" and "img_xxxx.jpg" (the numbers are unique) and I want to have only one naming scheme.
