Folder containing hashes (#) in name cannot be committed?

Hi, I'm new to this forum so please be kind :)

I am using TSVN to manage some backup files. When trying to backup configuration files from the Flash Player, I noticed the commits failing.

Documents\Workdocs\BACKUPS\jkRoaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\macromedia.com\support\flashplayer\sys\#bin.clearspring.com
Commit failed (details follow):
Server sent unexpected return value (400 Bad Request) in response to MKCOL
request for '/_svn/workdocs/!svn/wrk/964da3d8-a299-7041-a87b-1dd95bb65717/BACKUPS/jkRoaming/Macromedia/Flash%20Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys/%23bin.clearspring.com'

I believe that this is because the folder (directory) name contains a hash (#).

I would think that this would be a bug would it not? Since Windows is obviously happy with the hash in the name - unless Linux (the target svn repository is on Linux) can't cope?

Any clues?
