filenames that appear in a mounted share directory cannot be changed to lowercase characters, the same problem occurs when extensions are in upper case and you wish to change them into lowercase characters. i.e. rename .HTML .html *.HTML, has no effect on the files at all
Windows clients expect the file names to be case insensitive. I don't understand what you mean by this report. From a Windows client's poitn of view, foo.html and Foo.HTML are the same file.

smbfs is case insensitive as well. Try the cifs fs instead. No bug here.
