I know the following work:

krrrk.nbb.emd
krrrk_nbb.emd

Eugene specifically wrote his code to try those two names at least, as if you
download from a unix box to a windows box, two "." characters are not legal and
most software will replace the first "." with a "_" to solve this.

I don't know if it will work without any character there..  You will have to ask
the ChessBase folks about that...
