Script Server needs correct case in paths on Mac OS X

When the Script Server configuration contains an invalid line, an error message is written to the system log like:
2005-11-02 11:03:24 turtle scriptsrv[335]: Invalid config in line 38 - path does not exist: "PDF :pdf:/DoesNotExist:sample.pl:root:OUTDIR=OK"
On “Mac OS Extended” (HFS+) volumes no such message is created if the case differs between configuration line and directory, because this file system is case-insensitive (“MyFolder” is similar to “myfolder”).
So if the configuration contains “/Volumes/MyFolder” but the directory actually is named “myfolder”, no error message is written to the system log but this entry simply does not work.
This is also true for script names. So make sure to use correct cases in your configuration.
