Ah - not so! The .MDR file (not yet created by mkgmap) stores the names 
of subtile-files as 32-bit integers and expects the subtile files 
themselves to have names of the 'printf' format "I%07lX.GMP". See 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/MDR_Subfile_Format#MDR1_Subtile_List

There is a rumour on that wiki page that the subtile files can also be 
of a 'printf' format something like "%08ld.GMP", but I've not personally 
see that.
