If memory serves, &#{value}; is an HTML representation; you might have to designate those characters using the \x{value} or \N{U+value}. So you might try writing that part of the string as something like: 

      q/"C:\Users\James\Music\/
   . qq/\N{U+22283}\N{U+35486}/
   . qq/\N{U+25079}\N{U+24565}/
   . qq/\N{U+32769}\N{U+27468}/
   . q/ Vol. 2"/

Does that help?

    I tried several variations of this, but could not get any of them to work. The characters still seem to get mangled on the way to fsutil.
