I have noticed it can depend on the share name or maybe the name of
the directory it is in

For example I have the two following shares...

1.) General

2.) StaffShare
	folders under this share have names like
	Alex_Ardalich

If I put an app in 'Alex_Ardalich' I get something like a file not
found errors.

An app in a folder under the General share runs fine.
