Linux allows spaces in filenames so the underscores are not needed. :)
I believe what you've shown was just a logging bug in A46 that was fixed long
ago and that it should still work even without upgrading, but I could be
remembering it wrong.
But to reiterate: Most likely the filename in the .TIC file does not match the
case of the actual file on disk. In Linux they must be exact matches. If your
TIC says TEST.ZIP and you have test.zip on your disk, it will not toss.
In A48 there is now an option to allow case insensitive TIC tossing and it
defaults to being enabled so it will just work! :)

I think more than anything the filenames being case sensitive in Linux throws
people off but that will be a thing of the past in A48 with the ignore_case
option enabled.
Here is a paste from the log of a BBS installed on Ubuntu so you can see it
working for me, no underscores etc required.
