Don't format the card as FAT. Set it up as an Amiga hard drive in WinUAE and format it as an Amiga filesystem, then copy the OS3.9 files from within UAE.

Sounds like you formatted the CF card using a Windows filesystem. You need to format it with an Amiga filesystem. Amiga filesystems support spaces and fullstops in volume names. Also, if you copy the contents of the OS3.9 CD to a Windows filesystem then you will have a lot of problems when you try to install as it will mess up all of the filenames and file attributes.
