We backup a MacIntosh to our Win2k server and some of the directories
and filenames have leading and/or trailing blanks in the names.
The problem is that W2k says it can't find the file no matter the
operation, e.g. renaming or deleting via an explorer window.

I have even tried a cygwin bash shell with backslashes and quotes but the
system says it can't find the files.
I tried running a disk scan but it doesn't find anything wrong with the
files.

Any ideas on how to either rename them or delete them?
Thanks for any help.

1) try to quote them: del " moo.txt " in cmd.
2) use dir /x to gre the short file names in the cmd. Then delete using
those names.
