The hashing of commands at startup time for both bash and tcsh forces case matching even for case-insensitive HFS+.

If you want to use Ln or setfile (for SetFile) in HFS+ you can use a full path name or you can set the $NOHASH environment variable at least for tcsh. Either will result in file system access to find the tool rather than the (faster??) lookup in the hash.
