I'm a new Mac user, but I absolutely despise case-insensitive 
filesystems, so I reinstalled Leopard using the case-sensitive option. I 
  haven't used it extensively, but I may eventually run CS3 on it, so I 
bookmarked this page:

The author describes the problem and fix in detail, but also provides a 
bash script to automate the process. Note that it appears to require 
access to a (possibly archived) version of CS3 that was installed on a 
case-insensitive volume, which you apparently have at the moment. It may 
be worth a shot if you really want to make the move to a case-sensitive 
environment.

Another option might be to mount a case-insensitive volume just for 
installing CS3 (a twist on Yitzchak's suggestion), but I'm not sure if 
this will cause any issues with the installer.
