Can it be that the host system does not allow these characters?
On my system (Ubuntu 14.04 VM) files with those characters
can be created and removed by the emulated system, see attached
logs (linux.zip). Only '\' and '/' do not work.

Not sure if this would work, as for Windows with cp1252 encoding there
are more invalid characters (all the greek characters 0xC0..0xDC, and
some others)
