I have a very similar problem and would really like a solution to it becuase whenever I rsync to my iAudio x5 (which is fat32), artists or ablum titles with short names that are all one case (U2, REM, BT, etc...) get changed when moved over to the player...and thus rsync thinks they're different and tries to update them each time...it's quite annoying

I asked how to fix it on the Gentoo forums where I can usually get an answer in less than a day, but so far no one has responded.

Thanks.
where did I read the term "case retentive".
aha, looks like "posix" is what I want. Just a second here...
nope, no go. Oh well, no matter.

it does in this "case" for various reasons. I'm trying to do
<fs on linux box> -> jump drive -> <fs on linux box>
and end up with the same stuff.

If my connection weren't so slow I'd rsync it directly. Which reminds me,
we're getting campus high speed internet in grad housing, woo hoo. But not
until July.

I guess the solution for now is just tar it together, move the tarfile,
and unpack.
