https://survex.com/docs/manual/datafile.htm#AEN791
points out that 'by default names are forced to lower case'.

You have a 'preserve' on the survey files, but the entrance equate is outside that and so will get forced to lower case, but the surveys files presumably actually have it in upper case so they don't match.

So you could fix it by adding 
*case preserve 
or 
*case toupper
before the *fix in WC_Geo.SVX and WC.SVX 

(Probably, I don't have the data to check).
