Template files do not work when in "Templates" directory I have a custom theme that I have created, that contains a .info file, and various .tpl.php files.  The problem is that these templates wont be recognized by Drupal (7).  I've tried clearing all of the caches and re-uploading the files with no avail, as well is restoring the database.  

This theme works fine on a local server, but whenever the site is migrated to my staging server, the template is not recognized. The theme will show up in the admin interface under the appearance tab however and is enabled as default. 

There are no errors in "recent log messages"
It turns out there were more .tpl.php files in a different directory that was not obvious, thus overriding the templates I intended to use.
