But then when the next db4s.zip arrives, there is no uppercase one to
replace.  It looks to me like it won't replace the lowercase
dataset name, leaving the old (lowercase) one out there to cause a mismatch
later.

I think it might cause an issue when the file already exists and it cannot
replace it because the filename doesn't match.  It then eventually tries to
match a new tic with the older dataset, which is what happened here.

That would make sense, since it was trying to match to "db4s.zip" and the
one it was finding was the old one from September.

I got it processed "by hand."  ;)  If that echo continues causing issues, I
will just drop it.
