Calling literal uploaded photo file name - not

I realize captions cannot be used with Shadowbox - and that's just fine.

However, even though we are trying to add a name the title / caption / description (a one line name) via the Media Library ... Shadowbox is still calling to the literal, uploaded file name (example - pw9876_20 - instead of "White River Lighthouse").

I would think this is a real simple, obvious fix and yet after searching all over the the past 2 hours - I can't find the reason why this is happening.

The example page is here: http://puremichiganphotoclub.com/pros-competition/spring-2009-pros/stacy-niedzwiecki 

and if one were to click on the photo of either the Lighthouse in the center of the Gallery, or to the photo of Miss Michigan - both of those have been giving proper  title / caption / description in the Media Library (as in "Miss Michigan").

Any help would be so greatly appreciated...

Thank you,
S. Niedzwiecki

I should add to this message  - I'm using Shadowbox on other websites and this isn't an issue? The site in question above is the only one I am running Wordpress MU on - could that be a factor?

The source code for you page does not show the titles as being "White Lake Lighthouse" or Miss Michigan". The code shows  rel='shadowbox[post-247];player=img;' title='pw9876_20' and  rel='shadowbox[post-247];player=img;' title='pw9876_23'.

Absolutely. In fact it's the factor.
As David has already pointed out, neither your link nor your image (the A and IMG elements) have a title that remotely resembles what you are expecting, nor does the expected title appear in the rel attribute (which Shadowbox could have used to override the link's given title attribute).
I suggest you check the plugin's administration setup, and then possibly go back to the author of the plugin. This is not a Shadowbox problem.
