movie_filename with directories generating weird characters in directory names
Question
I've set up my movie_filename (and jpeg_filename, etc.) to use this format (see movie_filename, below).
However, when I look at my directory it is generating things like this (see directory paths in verbatim text):
As you can see, it has garbled the directory names. I was expecting to find my files under /media/memstick/motion/2013/04/20/ for today. The memory stick is an 8GB USB stick using FAT32, mounted at /media/memstick, and the whole thing is connected via an external USB hub to my raspberry pi.
I've tried to search the web to find out what is going wrong - maybe I'm doing something stupid - but I can't work out why it is garbling my directory names like this.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Richard
