I obviously jumped to a conclusion without full investigation. I'm running XP and I now cannot re-create the original problem.

I had made the assumption because changing the title had given me a usable copy and all the symptoms were the same as with "Westward Ho !".

I have changed the Title back to use the accented "e" and re-built the EPUB, transferred that and everything works. As you say the filesystem name, both in windows and on the Glo uses unaccented characters.

There must have been some other problem with the original file that triggered the error but as I have now done a couple of edits to it (I think mainly to the metadata and updated in Calibre rather than a clean-up using Sigil but can't honestly be certain) I doubt if I will ever discover what the problem was.

Thanks for setting me back on the right track - I did think it a bit odd that the accented problem had caused a problem and not been noted before.
