You must be using NT, Win2k or WinXP...right?

Sometimes these OSes create files without an 8.3 filename to go with their long filename (> 8.3).  A DOS Dir command on the files (with some command-line option...I forget which one...maybe -x) will reveal which files do NOT have an 8.3 filename.  Try copying them to another place, deleting the originals and copying/moving the new files back and see if that creates the 8.3 filenames.
