Alright... First tried the file command root at jubuntu:/media/Jrobo/03 - Tagged, Listened, Unsorted# file 2006-07-10\ -\ S├ªgl├│pur *2006-07-10 - S├ªgl├│pur: ERROR: cannot open `2006-07-10 - S├ªgl├│pur' (No such file or directory)* Then ls -lh on the parent root at jubuntu:/media/Jrobo/03 - Tagged, Listened, Unsorted# ls -lh /media/Jrobo/03\ -\ Tagged\,\ Listened\,\ Unsorted/ *total 0 ?--------- ? ? ? ? ? /media/Jrobo/03 - Tagged, Listened, Unsorted/2006-07-10 - S├ªgl├│pur * Followed by ls -lh on the directory in question root at jubuntu:/media/Jrobo/03 - Tagged, Listened, Unsorted# ls -lh /media/Jrobo/03\ -\ Tagged\,\ Listened\,\ Unsorted/2006-07-10\ -\ S├ªgl├│pur *ls: /media/Jrobo/03 - Tagged, Listened, Unsorted/2006-07-10 - S├ªgl├│pur: No such file or directory* Followed by ls -l after changing to Unicode root at jubuntu:/media/Jrobo/03 - Tagged, Listened, Unsorted# export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 root at jubuntu:/media/Jrobo/03 - Tagged, Listened, Unsorted# ls -l *total 0 ?--------- ? ? ? ? ? 2006-07-10 - S├ªgl├│pur *root at jubuntu:/media/Jrobo/03 - Tagged, Listened, Unsorted# By the way, to answer Brock I too can copy the folder name that shows using the tab-complete (2006-07-10 - S├ªgl├│pur) and can successfully create a folder which I can move, edit, rename, etc. There is something peculiar about this one, perhaps characters that aren't being seen or something. I have no idea. On Fri, Mar 21, 2008 at 8:15 PM, Elvedin Trnjanin <trnja001 at umn.edu> wrote: > Is it actually a folder?
