No, it's on an ext3 volume. The error message says something close  
to, "Cannot rename file 'Feel the Pain.mp3': file 'Feel the Pain.mp3'  
already exists.

I think the issue is with the scanner, but I could be wrong. It seems  
to always change the selected file names, whether or not they need to  
be changed.

I'll try later tonight if applying the same filter twice in a row has  
the same effect.
