	This used to happen here quite often, usually because someone
with a MAC would use GatorShare to write a file via NFS whose name
included the date.  The easiest solution was to use the MAC to change
the name to something without the '/'.  Then I would carefully explain
to the user what they did wrong and why they would be publicly flogged
if they did it again (restore really gets goofy if it is reading a
file system which contain such names).
