Are you sure the filename is correct?  As I understand it, Window's
filesystems are case insensitive, so 'textfilename.txt' would also
work for files named 'TextFileName.txt', or 'textfilename.TXT', etc.
I believe the Mac's filesystem is case sensitive, so all of those
names would be different files, and could in fact all reside in the
same directory together.
