You either burned the data too fast (PST files don't like to be burned above
4x) and/or you didn't check the option to remove the ";1" from the file
names in Nero's options dialog.

Check that the .pst file is set to RW (read/write). If it is simply copied
from the CD then it will be set RO (read only).
