Yes.  Different filessystems have different rules for what characters they
allow.  An "Invalid argument" comes from outside of rsync, and means you
need to figure out what the OS/filesystem doesn't like about the name.  You
can always try creating a file manually, for instance.  However, I'm fairly
sure that a double quote is not allowed by FAT filesystems.
