Alternative Solution

Here is a solution that worked for me to move files between Windows and a server using case sensitive paths. It walks down the directory tree and corrects each entry with GetFileSystemEntries(). If part of the path is invalid (UNC or folder name), then it corrects the path only up to that point and then uses the original path for what it can't find. Anyway, hopefully this will save others time when dealing with the same issue.

private string GetCaseSensitivePath(string path)
{
    var root = Path.GetPathRoot(path);
    try
    {
        foreach (var name in path.Substring(root.Length).Split(Path.DirectorySeparatorChar))
            root = Directory.GetFileSystemEntries(root, name).First();
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        // Log("Path not found: " + path);
        root += path.Substring(root.Length);
    }
    return root;
}
