The program that have create this names for the folders have a bug. (I have found it and the Programmer have remove it. See for that http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/neuer-artikel:-last-exit-fuer-lastfm/6/ [german language])

The problem is that I can't search for this files but there exists and nautilus (and ls) can display it. The folders and all files that in the folders where invisible for the gnome-search-tool.

I'm only a user, but I think it is not good when the gnome-search-tool don't find files.
