If you're so intereted in removing the directories with percent signs in
their name, then get the source, find the offending piece of code and 
recode it the way you like it best.

Btw there is a script file provided by Michael Chase which can help you 
automate the whole process of cleaning up instead of using some strange 
file managers. See http://home.ix.netcom.com/~mchase/zip/ .
