Public bug reported:
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open home folder on Ubuntu (file system ext3 or ext4)
2. Make new file called "Cambridge 08\09 images.zip"
3. Insert a USB key made in Windows (file system vfat or ntfs)
4. Copy file to USB key
=> Nautilus complains that it cannot copy the file.
In fact the reason is that the reciving file system (vfat/ntfs) cannot have the
character "\" in their file names. In a situation like this Nautilus or
GnomeVFS should
a) automatically rename the file to something like "Cambridge 08-09 images.zip"
and notify the user that the files was renamed to avoid illegal characters
b) inform the user that the file contains illegal characters, and that it must
be renamed before it can be copied/moved.
** Affects: gnome-vfs2 (Ubuntu)
