Sample file names:

Bob_coffee.jpg
DairyHayride.jpg
sleepycat.jpg

Nothing too exotic about these names.  Without exception, .jpg files 
are not visible on my storage card (from the Mac desktop) UNLESS they 
were placed there by Missing Sync.  Interestingly enough, Missing Sync 
CAN see all .jpg files on the built-in memory, just not on the storage 
card.  Don't know if it matters, but the .jpg files on the storage card 
are in a directory called My Documents.  I wonder if Missing Sync is 
making assumptions about file types that it will find there.  .jpg 
files that were put there using Windows ActiveSync are invisible to the 
Mac desktop (but not to File Explorer on the Pocket PC), while ones 
that Missing Sync put there are not.  Very odd.  Seems like a definite 
bug.
