Uhm, hold on there... Eli is talking about EXS *instruments* -- i.e. 
the .exs files in the Sampler Instruments folder, while I was talking 
(and you were too, I thought) about the *samples* used by the EXS 
instruments.  Instruments have to have unique names, but samples can 
(I think) have the same name since, as I wrote before, the EXS is 
smart enough to distinguish like-named but bitwise non-identical 
samples.

Just wanted to make sure no-one gets confused...
