[rdiff-backup-users] Restoring Windows file name to OS X

[Paul Smith]

Someone in my network accidentally made a Windows "Shortcut" to the A: drive
on their machine on a network drive, and that file name is something like "3 
1/2 Floppy (A)"
except the "1/2" is some f***ing Windows-encoded character. So it gets backed
up okay because it gets escaped, but when I had to do an emergency
full-restore today to said network drive, it bombs because the OS doesn't
know how to write that "1/2" character. The network drive is on a Mac OS X
Server.

What do I do?
