It is possible that in moving the file, the Mac saw it as a text document 
and "corrupted" the file with the CRLF's becoming CR's. There aren't any 
natural CRLF's in an EXS file, though,although a 13 and 10 may occur 
accidentally. This likely isn't it, although it's one of many guesses.

Really, the only requirements for the Instrument file to show up in the 
menu is that it either 1) had a FileType of '.exs' or in the name has an 
suffix extension of ".exs" (without the quotes) - and the file should be 
legitimate - I do think EXS does a cursory check first, but the extent of 
that I don't know.
