Description Phillip Susi 2011-02-27 22:14:08 UTC 
file-roller appears to unescape these sequences before passing the file name to tar, causing tar to fail to find the file.

Test case:

echo foo > foo%20bar

Right click "foo%20bar" in nautilus and choose compress.  It fails with tar saying it could not find "foo bar".
