You might have sorted out your issue already, but if not, then if I were you I'd use a disk editor (I remember having used Norton's DiskEdit in the distant past for similar needs), and change the name of one of the files with it.
Note: Two files with the same name are totally possible. In fact, it happens much often than you think: every time you delete two files that differ only by the first name, your filesystem ends up with two 'identical' filenames (since deletion is replacing the first character of a filename by a special glyph).
