You'll almost certainly find the original names in their .LONGNAME 
extended attributes.  This is the behaviour that one experiences with 
the Workplace Shell if it thinks that the target volume does not support 
long names.  I have a vague memory of a tool somewhere that reads out 
the .LONGNAME attributes and renames the file to that name if it can. 
There'll be something on Hobbes no doubt.  It's not hard to knock 
together a REXX script to do this, in any case.
