There can be no fix for this. A filesystem that is case
insensitive, even if case preserving, is inherently unable
to support files whose names differ only in case. Perhaps
there is mount option for hfs+ to make it case sensitive.
Otherwise you would be better off with a SUS compliant
filesystem if you wish to use the hardlinked disk backups.
