I have figured out the steps required to reproduce the error.
I have the file with following name "-^mininova.org^- 23 (1998) -
Espionage.Conspiracy.Hacking.TrueStory - Subs.torrent" (without the
quotes) stored in /usr/watch. It was downloaded from the internet using
Opera browser and that filename is causing problems, maybe because the
"^" character is not being escaped properly with slash during the
manipulation with it? My filesystem is ext3.
No, the problem is what Eric previous told you. You have issued the
command 'ls -^min...Subs.torent ...' (where the '...'s are "other
stuff"). There is no such option '-^', therefore ls complains.
If you do not want the results of the shell's expansion of '*' to be
considered options, you need to say so: 'ls -- *'. Neither ls nor your
shell is doing anything incorrect.
