Oh boy.
Hi Bill,
Did you ever get this problem resolved?
I just upgraded to Mavericks two days ago and have the same exact problem.
Except it just became more fun for me because in the course of trying to troubleshoot, somehow the workflow decided to rename the folder itself (to todays date ad infinity), AND now ALL of the files in that folder now have the new, super-expanded naming applied to them. ha hah ahahahahahahahahahhaaaaa!!!!!
ugh.
Have you fixed your's yet?
Thanks,
Dee Dee
