*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

You have been subscribed to a public security bug by Marc Deslauriers 
(mdeslaur):

Try copying a file with Nautilus that contains a single quote in its file name, 
and it will fail stating that the source file does not exist.
Copying the very same file from bash with cp works without a hitch, however.

Flagging as security just in case that improper escaping might permit
injecting commands (untested).
