The files are owned by BOINC (the system user) service
The Logged user runs a GUI client that talks to the BOINC service .
If I take my boxes down to the local 'Public Storage', I don't get to put them in just any unit. I must use the assigned unit or con a buddy into using theirs .
That's not how I interpret the OP's issue. He seems to NOT be concerned about the filing structure.

IMO he is concerned about the labels used in the filing structure. If you read Kovids post you will see that he refers to the transliteration of RTL characters, not the filing structure.

If you use an RTL character set in Calibre then the folder and file names have no immediately obvious relationship to the author and title strings stored in the Calibre database.

I have no problems with accepting that "Les Misérables" in the book list will have a book folder name of "Les Miserables (51)", but if if was "51fd;owpy[devqyt (51)" then...

I have no idea what BOINC is/was/will be - maybe you mistyped BJORK
