Same issue

root at jubuntu:/media/Jrobo/03 - Tagged, Listened, Unsorted# mv "2006-07-10\
-\ S├ªgl├│pur 2006-07-10\ -\ S├ªgl├│pur" newname
*mv: cannot stat `2006-07-10\\ -\\ S├ªgl├│pur 2006-07-10\\ -\\ S├ªgl├│pur':
No such file or directory*
root at jubuntu:/media/Jrobo/03 - Tagged, Listened, Unsorted#

The quotes shouldn't have been necessary anyway, as the \ escapes the spaces
