Thanks for this list, I listed some comments/questions below.

It should move all directories under web, so this dir wasn't moved at all?

Do you know what file on the system these live in?

Yeah it adds the aliases all at once, if one fails they all fail.  I will make sure they are all lower case when they are imported.

I assume it didn't detect this conflict on import.   I will look into it.

Can you send me the cmu.log for these imports(not to the list) so I can try and figure out why this happened. 

Yes, I have started working on the next version of CMU (will be called 2.5x) and the first release with raq550 to raq550 should be ready in a week.  I have to get this done before Bioware fixes the Radeon problems with the NWN Linux client ;)
