"8½ 1963" is a different name from "8½ 1963.mkv" so this should not be the cause of your name collision. perhaps try creating the directory named "8½ 1963" some place else, and then move the file "8½ 1963.mkv" into it (assuming this is your goal, you didn't specify that either), to help determine whether this is an issue with the unicode character doing something unpredicted, or some issue with the parent directory (like the name actually already existing)? then if that works, you can try moving the new "8½ 1963" directory into the desired parent directory and see what happens. -wes _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
