question marks are an "invalid character" in a file or folder name.

Of course it's an invalid character for XP, just as it is for Linux. The question mark is a wildcard, used to represent one unknown character, just as an asterisk is used to represent any number of unknown characters. Thus, test?.txt will match test1.txt or test2.txt but not test12.txt. Have you tried putting quotation marks around the name to keep it from being expanded?
