Bug Description

With the ext3 filesystem, back slashes ("\") are valid in filenames, but the local_resource resource provider wrongly converts them to forward slashes, resulting in "No such file or directory" warnings:

WARN MainThread local_resource jan 16 10:55:43 Skipping file\name: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/osomon/file/name' (elisa/plugins/base/local_resource.py:114)

Steps to reproduce:
1) Create an empty file with a back slash in its name: `cd ~ && touch "file\name"`
2) Start Elisa, go to Music/Music Library/Folders/Add folders/Home

Expected result: no warning issued.

Current result: the above warning is issued.
