Me too.  I finally gave up and just use the Active X transfer instead.

not sure if this was yourp roblem SStevenson or not, but i think i managed to fix mine.

Shutterstock only accept alpha-numeric file names... so brackets are not allowed, and apprently neither is the ` key (backwards '  key)

FastStone has a free photo resizer that will also change names in batches.  It's a neat little program.
