Mac to Novell filename issues may block copying

When trying to drag a folder to a Novell File Server from the Mac hard drive, a user received the following message:

Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (Error Code -51)
After some digging, the folder was failing once it tried to copy a file that had the # symbol in its name. This was replicated using three different users. Removing the # character fixed the problem and allowed the folder to be copied.
