Well, it seems you should rename your files from

2012_06.txt to 2012-06.txt etc.

The change seems to have got my data back- thank you. I have no idea how a write to DVD on Ubuntu and a read fron DVD on Windows could make that file change... but mysteries abound in computers, I suppose.

FWIW, I immediately exported my data in all the formats possible, and discovered that export to PDF doesn't work on Windows. No error, just no file. Here the logfile:
