Unpacking failed when filename has backslash

I've been seeing this error pop up a lot lately: "Unpacking failed, an expected file was not unpacked"

After looking at my completed directory, the filename has at least one backslash (\) but usually two. However, the mkv has extracted but since it throws an error, the post processing script doesn't run.

Is there a setting I'm missing to adjust for this?

Thanks!

Backslashes mean that the RAR files specify additional folders.
This should not be an issue.
Can you email an example NZB file to [email protected] ?
Please add the URL of this message and which operating system you are using?

BTW: some non-Windows and none-OSX system have trouble with "odd" file names.
You can disable the check in Config-Switches->"Check result of unpacking".

I disabled the "Check result of unpacking" and it works now. My OS is Centos 6.5 64-bit. I can still send an nzb file if you like.

Thanks for the help!

Please do, just in case this is an especially weird post.
