Have you the "python" package installed?
Cd's where the files are and execute this script:

------------------------cut here--------------------
#!/usr/bin/python
import os
import string
for fname in os.listdir(os.curdir):
	newfname = string.lower(fname)
	os.rename(fname, newfname)
------------------------cut here--------------------
