RISC OS is particularly problematic as it's default character set isn't
quite ISO8859-1 and every foreign filing system or network filing system
implements its own mapping. Worst still some of these mappings are not
two way, so while the names on the remote system appear to be the same
as on RISC OS, RISC OS then see them as different to the original, which
completely breaks backups.

So I've had to rename everything thats backed up on to a remote filinf
system, so it just contains A to Z, dash, underscore and pling.
