Nothing to add, but scrubbing the data you share on a public forum is just good sense.

the trailing space perplexed me a couple of months ago. that is what I thought the problem here was initially but that proved to be incorrect.

I looked this up a few months ago and what I discovered was that legal file names can consist of spaces and visible UTF8 characters  and
only characters which are used for file (system) syntax are restricted from becoming part of the file syntax.  There is one other exception
to this and that is that is trailing spaces are not allowed.  My memory here is not absolutely certain but note that Firefox will convert the most
ridiculous web page title into a file name and save the page for you.

well, because of me thinking about this fire stuff I thought I should back up my system but I get an error:

bmike1@MikesBeast ~ $ rsync -aWuq --delete-before /home/bmike1/Documents /media/bmike1/RedSanDisk
rsync: mkstemp "/media/bmike1/RedSanDisk/Documents/Business/Photography/PropertyPhotographing/PrivateClients/Carmen Bongiovani/2016/20160728/.11 Wedgewood Ln,\#012Palm Coast, FL 32164.54RzTX" failed: Invalid argument (22)
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1183) [sender=3.1.0]
bmike1@MikesBeast ~ $ 

So I use the gui to copy the file that won't copy which results in the 'invalid file name'. Before I tried to copy it I looked for the offending file in the originating directory but it is not there:

bmike1@MikesBeast ~/Documents/Business/Photography/PropertyPhotographing/PrivateClients/Carmen Bongiovani/2016/20160728 $ ls -a
.  ..  11 Wedgewood Ln,?Palm Coast, FL 32164  jpg  jpg2  Raw  Working  Working2

and I looked for it in the destination directory:

bmike1@MikesBeast /media/bmike1/RedSanDisk/Documents/Business/Photography/PropertyPhotographing/PrivateClients/Carmen Bongiovani/2016/20160728 $ ls -a
.  ..  jpg  jpg2  Raw  Working  Working2

I'm so pleased with myself! I noticed the forward slash and the #012 and I figured  I had pressed <shift><enter> while naming the file (must be the line feed character) and that #012 is the ascii character for a space so I went into the file manager and deleted that portion and it copies fine now. It is so exciting when I figure things out for my self
