I have noticed this kind of behavior as well ... and noticed that if ANY 
portion of the file name (on the Mac or UNIX) does not fall within the DOS 
filename restrictions, then there will be remapping (with a tilde) ... are 
by any chance the Mac names using ANY capital letters?

The one that currently bothers me is if a file/directory name STARTS with 
a capital, then the remapping is such that Win3 applications do not 
recognize it, though FILE MANAGER does ...
