This could be due to having the same sample name in each of your files. As
I've now seen several cases like this I added a bit to the pregap manual
(http://www.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/pubseq/manual/pregap_6.html). To summarise:

	It is sometimes useful to determine the experiment file names
	and reading names from an ABI filename rather than the sample
	named contained within it. If this is your usual form of
	working then modify the abi_SCF_com, abi_Exp_com and
	abi_Ent_com variables. An example would be to add the
	following to your `.pregaprc' file.

	abi_SCF_com='echo "${file}.scf"'
	abi_Exp_com='echo "${file}.exp"'
	abi_Ent_com='echo "${file}" | sed "s/ /_/g"'

This _may_ fix things for you.

	James
