I'm pretty sure that to get correct names for the individual tiles, you have to provide names for each of them. You can do this by using the -c option and providing a .args file which lists the names of each tile. (Do this instead of using *.img on the command line.)

I do pretty much the same thing as you do, except I use MapSource or the Map Install on the Mac to do the final combine and transfer. (Which is also needed if the --index option is used.)

Cheers.
