I'd take a look at the directory in question on the NW server itself
using an Apple Mac.  NW has 4 filespaces, DOS, Long, Mac and NFS.  It
is possible to place files with what are normally "illegal" filenames
into the Mac filespace; they are then difficult to rename with a PC.
In addition, these are then difficult to backup, let alone restore.

Get the user to use an Apple to rename the file.  The name is likely
to have a Copyright symbol or something similar.  Essentially Apples
will allow almost anything except semi-colons as filenames.
