Don't name the intermediate directories (subheirarchies) or modules Aux. On Windows platforms (at least 2k, almost certainly earlier ones as well though) aux (or aux.* in general) is a special file name.
Certainly since MSDOS 2.0, possibly even 1.0. IIRC, the reserved names include aux:, con:, prn:, com1:, com2:, com3:, com4:, lpt1:, lpt2:, lpt3:, and nul:. The syntax with the trailing colon is official, but not necessary. So don't name anything with these names :-( --KW 8-)
