   Hello Vince.

   After further research and testing, it appears the problem is with the DOS    
   path translation feature.  If that is disabled (mbsetup 1.4.7 is empty),    
   everything works fine.  If you have a DOS drive letter/path listed there, the    
   .?lo files are created using the DOS path (with the correct case).  Apparently    
   when the DOS drive/path is translated back to unix, it's getting zapped to all    
   lower case, causing mbcico to fail to find the file to send.   
      
   Since I don't really need the dos path translation feature, I'll just disable    
   it until the bug gets squashed.
