Color problems with Black, Pantone Black CV, etc

Ok, another weird Illustrator CS problem.

A customer of ours loads their files to their FTP site.
We go and download the files to our desktop.

They are PC based, and we download the files directly to a PC.

They never do any trapping or black over prints on 10% PMS screens.
So, I open them in CS, and set the blacks to overprint on the screens, and resave them.

When I then import the .eps files into Quark 6.5, and paginate them into printers spreads.
Then we print out of Quark to an HP 8100 for color seps. for fax proofing. For some strange reason, we then get a Black (all the type), and a Process Black CV (Imported Photoshop .tifs), and the PMS color.

When I drop their .eps files into Quark and print the same way, it only shows as Black and the PMS color. (Yet, their file wont work, because of no trapping or overprint)

Has anyone else come across this problem, or know why a simple re-save will create a 3rd color??
Any insight, hints, or ideas would be appreciated.

If you want, I can send the original .eps file, and my re-saved version for someone to investigate.

Thanks
Scott
