Problems with "%" character in file name

Hello.

I'm getting weird problems.

Everytime I try to copy a file from VM to host with the sequence "}%" in the file name I get this error message:

"Cannot get attributes of file on virtual machine. Canceling the file copy operation."

When I use Shared Folders option and open the shared folder in VM, a file with name "{doc}%1" in host appears as "{doc}]%1" in VM.

In this case, there are other combinations: !%, @%, #%, $%, &%, (%, )%, {%, }%, ^%.

With all of them I get that error. I don't know if there are other combinations.

Do you know what is happening?

Thanks.

Using:

VMware Player 6.0.6

Host: Windows 7 32bits
