double "download" subdir entry in QNAP 419P

I've got this peculiar phenomenem that in the destination directory on my NAS often a secondĀ "download" directory is created. Download with a capital exists apart from download. The content of the original directory is hidden. And all the new downloaded files are located/visible in both directories. Most of the times the original files appear again when a/the download directorie(s) are deleted. To me it seems to be a Ajax problem but at theis moment i can't determine wether it is a problem in my QNAP 419P of in NABNZBD.
At this moment i'm running 0.5.2 of NABNZD (release logs of newer software don't mention this type of problem) and my QNAP is running on the following firmware 3.3.2 Build 0819T.
Any clue is appreciated.
Regards

First of all, we do not support older versions than 0.5.6 of SABnzbd.
Second, SABnzbd assumes that the operating systems knows whether
the filesystem is case-sensitive or not.
From what you describe it looks like the native file system is case-sensitive.
However be aware that when the NAS show it's content as a Windows-share,
things may get confused. For Windows file systems are case-insensitive.
So when the native (internal) file system has a "DOWNLOAD" and a "download"
folder, the NAS has to pick which one to show to a connected Windows system.
Chances are it will pick the wrong one.

Shypike, thanks for your response.
I can follow waht you write about how a windows machine being case insensitive and other OSs that may be case sensitive. And about how windows machines may pick one apparantly at random.
But what I'm trying to explain is why this duplicate dir is being created in the first place. It only occurs when I am using SABNZBD.
I realize that I was short on the infomation of the platform I' m using. I'm using NABNZBD on both a windows-7 and a windows-XP (SP3) OS.
And with both platforms the phenomenem occurs.
If you have any clues at hand, please let us know. Meanwhile I will upgrade to 0.5.6, and test it in the next weekend. I will report the results soon afterwards.
Thanks.
