I can see another explanation if the web-site that's mirrored from is on
a windows host (or any other host system with case insensitve
filenames). On windows page.htm, Page.htm, page.HTM and PAGE.HTM are all
the same file but in Linux (or any other host with case sensitive
filenames) they are four different files.
