There might be an obscure character in the name that the system thinks ends the
 
name, so it finds no match in that software.

A delete or rename with a wildcard (whatever the DOS for it is) might work; 
though probably the folder is okay and you only have to rename it to something 
legal.

linux for finding obscure characters might be

ls | od -c

(Cygwin would let you do that, if you install it.)
