Samba mounted XP Shares and files with "%20" in the filenames

%20 is the hexadecimal encoding of the space character (decimal ASCII 
number 32). The web uses hexadecimal codes for many of the character 
which hold special meanings in the HTTP protocol.

As for how it will affect SMB, I don't know (I've never set up SMB before).

Hope this helped,
Justin
