 The name of entries in the journal is being used as the filename when
 items are moved to usb sticks. If the name of the entry contains an
 invalid character, such as a question mark, the journal entry name cannot
 be used as the filename on the usb stick. Right now, it seems that journal
 entries with invalid characters just fail to copy to the usb stick, but
 there is some metadata that is transfered, since the entry shows up on the
 stick in the journal view. This is misleading to the user, as it looks
 like their file transferred correctly when it did not. Perhaps, if a
 journal entry has an invalid character, the journal just assins it a
 generic File_1.(ext) name.
