escaping filenames

molpro does not properly escape filenames when it copies .out to
.out_1. This manifests itself in the following error:
,----
| sh: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `/home/mpuser/jochen/(C'
| sh: -c: line 1: `mv /home/mpuser/jochen/(xy)2/file.out /home/mpuser/jochen/(xy)2/file.out_1'
| Failure 512 executing mv [...]
`----
Ok, my filenames (actually directories) contain '(', but they are
perfectly valid. They simply need to be escaped when you pass them to
a shell. So the mv-statement above should read
,----
| mv /home/mpuser/jochen/\(xy\)2/file.out ...
`----
Greetings,
Jochen
