Use single slashes to denote meta strings.

Hence:

CHK at blah,blah,blah/ - a CHK
CHK at blah,blah,blah/filename.txt - a file within a CHK manifest
SSK at blah,blah/ - invalid
SSK at blah,blah// - strongly discouraged SSK with zero length name
SSK at blah,blah/name - an SSK with a name
SSK at blah,blah/name/index.htm - a file within an SSK manifest
