First character of media files being deleted

Hello everyone,
I am having a weird issue, with files uploaded via ‘Add new media.’ The first character of those files is being deleted.

Example:
I uploaded a file named ‘gift-card.jpg’
The file URL should be: http://viatribunali.ul3c.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/gift-card.jpg
The actual file URL is: http://viatribunali.ul3c.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/ift-card.jpg

Current WordPress media title: ift-card
Current WordPress permalink: http://viatribunali.ul3c.com/home/ift-card/

Changing the title and/or permalink for the file, does not actually change the file URL.

I have searched the web, and the support forum, and found this topic, which seems to be a somewhat similar issue, but the fix is not working for me. I believe that’s because that thread is addressing how the file name is displayed, and not how/where it’s actually living.

I also found this topic, but it doesn’t go into much detail, and is also two years old. http://wordpress.org/support/topic/uploads-missing-the-first-letter-of-title?replies=2

Any help would be much appreciated. I apologize if this topic has already been covered. I wasn’t able to find any more information, other than the threads posted above.

Thank you
