Yes, that should be the case.

I thought I reported that the descriptors not only don't use the correct names 
but also are for single sided instead of double sided disks. Therefore they 
don't match the structures of the .dsk images in the nightly build and you get a 
bad path error.

Not sure what your last question means? What files on the disk image?
