Hi Lars. I notice the title says trouble with escaped shell characters, but as Pedro mentioned, you aren't actually escaping them, unless by escaping you are referring to the quotes around just part of the filename. I have never seen a partially quoted filename but perhaps it is valid. If this is the case can you try escaping the colon with a backslash, otherwise if the single quotes are part of the filename, try Pedro's solution, and report back? Thanks!
