How to reset media path | same filename two directories

I moved a catalog from a Mac to a PC. It worked OK,
except for about 500 images where the media file can't be found.
The affected images all share the same filename but in different directories:

E:\Foo\2014\IMG_4096.jpg
E:\Foo\2012\IMG_4096.jpg

I've identified the proper file on disk for the missing items, but "reset paths" appears to have no result.
How can I reconnect the catalog to the on disk files? Is this related to the repeated file name?

  Here's MediaPro suggesting the wrong image. But even if I direct it to the correct image, nothing gets fixed in the catalog.
  MediaPro support did respond on this issue, but with responses that were not helpful or insightful:

  Note the blank "name" in the dialog. The IMG_6023.JPG is shown in the thumbnail view, but the filename is blank in the dialog. It matches an older file by the name of IMG_6023.JPG (Nikon cameras wrap from IMG_9999.JPG to IMG_0000.JPG after 10,000 images).

  After you did/ tried the path reset, did you also try a rebuild?

  Ok, I'll try that.
  You mean "Actions->Rebuild Item"?
  
  Hold on...
  just a sec...
  got it...
  
  Made no difference. The "original media file is not found" message still appears.
