There was a similar issue with photoalbum a while back which would  
let through filenames with illegal characters for the file system.  
eg. on a Mac you can pretty much have anything including quotes,  
international characters and spaces but not so on Linux. I added in a  
function to convert the filename to a safe filename based on some  
code from php.net. Maybe have a look at that and see if it could be  
expanded.
