I hadn't tried subscribing to my rss feeds from itunes previously, but 
when I just tried it, it worked fine.

As to URL encoding - I name my files in url-safe ways 
(The_Daily_Show_2008-03-04.MP4) and ITunes seems to pick it up ok. 
Admittedly I don't encode all of my recordings in PSP format.

I'd have a look at your php files to make sure there's no blank lines at 
the start or end of any of the files (outside of the <?php ?> tags)  It 
seems like there's something inherently wrong with one of the two files.

The php extension doesn't faze my iTunes - could your apache config be 
serving up the page with the wrong mime type?  Does Firefox identify it 
as an RSS feed?
