This is probably due to the new version of Boost.Filesystem
(I assume you use 1.31.0). The new version has a new
scheme for path name validation. If you want to allow all
paths that are accepted on the platform it's running on,
make this call before you start using boost::filesystem::path.

	namespace fs = boost::filesystem;
	fs::path::default_name_check(fs::native);

hope that helps. The manual mentions this at the bottom.
