Thats perfectly normal. You will notice that file attributes are "wrong" too. 
That is because the attributes are stored separat. thus the f-prefix notes that 
this is a backuppc-thing. and f%2f is the notion of / in backuppc's own 
"language".

Of course this looks strange directly on the file-system. But you are not 
supposed to use these file without the help of backuppc anyway.

Have fun,
