I had direct experience of this problem a couple of months ago with the
recently released Natural Studio V7 drum kit. The original gig file version ( a
later version fixed this by shortening the file names) gave rise to this
problem with EXS24 conversion. 

Logic's own gig converter truncated the file names and created a set of
non-unique references. CDXtract did not truncate the names - it preserved the
full file names. However, the EXS24 instrument CDXtract generated could not
load the files with long names ( approx 40 characters). So both failed -
perhaps Bernard Chavonet will address this in an update of CDXtract. 

I'm glad to hear Translator addresses this. Unfortunately I don't own it.
