Help with adding an item

I want to add 2 more Ammo Belts to my game. I tried just adding BAG05 to two of my characters, but all that did was give them access to the SAME Ammo belt, not 2 separate ammo belts. So, I tried creating a "new" item by exporting the BAG05 into the Override directory and giving it a new name such as ABAG05 or BAG05B. Then I would add the new item to one of my characters.. However, as soon as I did this, the save game would not load properly. What am I missing?

Any help would be appreciated..

    Bags consist of two resources. The item file (e.g. bag05.itm) and the associated storage file (e.g. bag05.sto).

    So, does that mean I need to make a copy of the bag05.sto with the same name as the new item (ABAG05.sto) ?
