nice is a tool for CPU priority adjustment.
If you don't have it, you don't need it.
Just start with /pathto/hpt toss link...

Sending files is controled by flow files.
*.flo normal flavor
*.?lo for others like direct, crash, hold

A flow file contains a list of files to send.
With an after-send-control character in front. Maybe something like

^/home/imp/hpt/outbound\90148c00.th0

in your case. The tosser is responsible to create that entry.
(Check the path seperator, you have mixed ones.)

 JL> 90148c00.th0: is actually 90148C00.TH0

I don't know if the tosser can or can not detect a non case sensitive file system.

Pleae tell more about the system configuration. Which tosser on which
operating system is in use, which file system is usesd for the outbound
directory.

If the tosser writes
 /home/imp/hpt/outbound\90148C00.TH0
into the flow file, everything should be ok.
Edit the flow file for a quick and dirty one time workaround.

Sadly, a grep for upper and lower didn't find anything in my actual config.
My hpt/linux uses all lower case by default. My only idea why you have
upper case is an upper case only filesystem or an upper case tosser/DOS.

 JL> inboundcase upper
 JL> But, I guess it only works with incoming bundles?

Yes.

binkd transfer is case sensitiv. If you have a DOS system you could convert
any incoming lower case file with that into upper case.
