[plug] "Illegal" characters in samba mounts?

No, both machines are Linux. The filename is stored on
the disk correctly, it's just not being translated
through Samba correctly.

Also, if I then try to (on the client machine) rename
the translated file to the long version with the ?, it
says the file already exists. So it looks like it's
just a display thing more or less, but copying the
file back from the Samba mount still has the wrong
name :(

Re Craig's point: No, I don't make filenames like "*
Conditions apply.txt" :)  It's just for this single
solitary MP3 from one of my albums, which technically
should have a question mark. I could always leave it
out, I suppose, but...
