Where the item listed (Dbgview, ...) is a windows symlink like:
2019/02/07 22:53 <SYMLINK> Dbgview [SI\Dbgview.exe],
and stems from the use of the --xattrs switch.
Hmm. Looks like some of the symlink / attrs content is taking a route
that doesn't deal correctly with '\' as a path separator. Which isn't
too terribly surprising in a way, but it would still be useful to find
out where. Can you run (a pared down) example in strace and show the
result?

Interesting diagnosis. Won't know if I can do so until I've tried.
Should be _able_ to setup a test case, will have to try it and see.
Thanks for the exact diagnosis of what's needed, and next step! :-)
