Does some Kobo guru know if it's maybe the Kobo itself that has some problems with some characters in the filename?
The KoboTouch driver in calibre does the following when creating filenames:

Code:
    def sanitize_path_components(self, components):
        invalid_filename_chars_re = re.compile(r'[\/\\\?%\*:;\|\"\'><\$!]', re.IGNORECASE | re.UNICODE)
        return [invalid_filename_chars_re.sub('_', x) for x in components]
Those are the specific Kobo changes. Calibre will also have sanitised the name so it was legal filename. It tends to overdo this as it makes sure the name is valid in all the OSes calibre runs on.
