When you got the LaCie drive did you use the Disk Utility program to

I did as advised and chose "erase" and then chose "Mac Extended
(Journaled)" and it now accepts files with"/" in the name!!

"Erase" is what Apple calls "format." I imagine they chose this
because the definition of "erase" is probably more obvious to
non-techies than is the definition of "format."
