Hi Patrick,
It sounds like you have 2 issues here.

> tyty_002.png, tyty_003.png...


In tonight's nightly build I have added some new properties:
loopindex_pad2, loopindex_pad3 and loopindex_pad4
These will pad out the string with "0":

<isl>
  <group loop="150">
    <echo message="loop:${loopindex} ${loopindex_pad2}  ${loopindex_pad3}  
${loopindex_pad4} "/>
</group>
</isl>

Gives:
loop:0 00  000  0000 
loop:1 01  001  0001 
loop:2 02  002  0002 
loop:3 03  003  0003 
loop:4 04  004  0004 
loop:5 05  005  0005 
loop:6 06  006  0006 
loop:7 07  007  0007 
loop:8 08  008  0008 
loop:9 09  009  0009 
loop:10 10  010  0010 
...

This looks like a problem with the times not being used in the bundle. 
This is working for me. Try the attached bundle and isl file.

In the bundle - did you subset the times and only select one time? Can you send 
me the bundle?

Thanks,
Jeff
