--- Comment #5 from forenkram at gmx.de ---
Ok, it turns out, that this is not a bug, but an option of the ntfs-3g driver
to restrict file naming to names that are valid on Windows (makes sense). 
It turns out and is documented here, 

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/naming-a-file#naming-conventions

that the question mark is invalid for file naming in Windows.

I understand that it is not the duty of the k3b devs to worry about (notably)
Windows file systems, however, since it is desirable to use music files that
have been ripped on one platform on a possibly entirely other platform, I would
suggest to consider removing the characters described in the above link to make
the files more platform independent, i.e. Windows compatible.
If you don't want to implement this by default, then it would be desirable to
have it as an option. 

Cheers
