Rui - I suggest that you change the case of the filename for the directory, because that is what is causing you trouble - you shouldn't duplicate file names, with one a directory and the other an ordinary file. If your ordinary files are E8-something, make the directory e8-something, or vice-versa. alternatively, you could add a leading or trailing string, i.e. D_E8-something.
