It appears that calibre wants to create a folder called "Ebooks" which it cannot do because there is already a file of the same name and case.

Since calibre is performing a bog-standard python os.makedirs call, I would venture to say there is no special secret sauce designed for confusing filenames... though it is possible that as itimpi said, there is a file with a different case but same name, in which case the traditional FAT storage system might throw complaints.

Either way, what is a file called ebooks/Ebooks/eBooks/eBoOKs/anything else doing there in the first place?
