Samba should mangle names containing '\' to 8.3 names.

The code in is_legal_name() should catch names containing
'\' and report them as needing mapping to 8.3.

Indeed if I check this locally with smbclient I get
(for a share containing a file created with:

$ touch 'file with \ in it'

I see the file:

FI32YH~P

listed from smbclient -mSMB3

Check how you have Samba configured Steve.
