Default Direcories that begin with a space

Flash does not seem to like directories that begin with spaces (as well as really odd ascii chars...)
Heres is a raw directory list (I quoted the spaces to make it eaiser to see):

total 14
drwxrwxrwx 2 # # 512 Aug 14 11:07 " "
drwxrwxrwx 2 # # 512 Aug 14 11:07 " "
drwxrwxrwx 2 # # 512 Aug 14 11:08 " ."
drwxrwxrwx 2 # # 512 Aug 14 11:08 " fdsafdsa"
drwxrwxrwx 2 # # 512 Jun 13 21:46 XXX
drwxrwxrwx 2 # # 1024 Aug 13 21:06 XXX1
drwxrwxrwx 2 # # 512 Jun 13 21:47 XXX2

Now on flashes directory list,
"XXX"
"XXX1"
"XXX2"
"fdsafdsa"

it strips all the spaces, which make " ." into "." and then it of course does not display it, " fdsafdsa" becomes "fdsafdsa" which does not exist.
