Thanks much for the patch Mike, I'll have to test it tomorrow. Spaces
was the only thought that crossed my mind too as everything else
seemed 'normal', but I hadn't looked through the QT docs before you
kindly posted the patch.

Spaces are the default behaviour for the mythrename.pl script - the
default format is "%T %- %Y-%m-%d, %g-%i %A %- %S" and underscores are
turned _off_ by default. I guess we chalk this one up to insufficient
testing...

I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow when I have some more stuff to
rename and delete, but I'm confident this will fix the issue.

Cheers,
