Hi Andy!

Thy to add following parameter to the file and descriptors store in the
domain.xml (I assume by your mail that you are using the TxFile store):
<parameter name="url-encode-path">true</parameter>

That should solve the problem with backslash in windows file system. This
will also solve some problems with UTF-8 compability.
