To me it seems like it didn't complain about a file named

"Data.DBF"

but

"DATA.DBF;"

i.e. that it is looking for a file with a semicolon as the last
character of the file name. Also, I find it confusing to use .dbf as
the extension. I doubt I am the only one thinking "oh, it's a dBase
file" when seeing the file name, which could cause problems if ever
anyone else would take over your job.
