Whilst completing my monthly google analaysis I think I may have stumbled over something that may be the root cause of an apparent penalty, or not!

There are several domains that I monitor on a regular basis and I am familiar with almost every page of these sites: some include my own, some clients, some friends, some competitors and some totally disconnected for use as control.

One in Particular caught my interest this month as I viewed it: Grey PR on the home page ( due to a server side redirect of the index page I am reckoning ) PR5 of Home.cfm BUT Grey PR for home.cfm, which was not linked to, Other.cfm had PR5 but other.cfm had PR4, with less links. T he site is hosted on IIS.

I checked several others and saw the same effect. On Apache/*nix hosted sites obviously I could replicate this.

So, it seems that PR is not only page sensetive but case sensetive .... or may be I am wrong?

Nah. All depends on what the server is spitting out. The bot is probably seeing it as dupe content. Filenames on Unix are case sensitive but not windows.
