Randall,

   Are the two files identical? Try 'ls -l' to see the sizes and last access
dates. If your flash drive is formatted with VFAT then it sees the two as
the same because Micro$ofts OSes are not case sensitive. If that's the case,
rename one to something like make_home_alone_castegories.txt.
