Morris, Although it might be regarded by some as overkill, to be absolutely safe, I would not recommend using any characters, including spaces, except alpha-numeric, hyphens and underscores in file names.
The problem is that html gives a special interpretation to a number of characters, or the server may change them, in the case of a space it can become a “%20” which will not be recognised by a program expecting a space! One other thing to watch is using upper and lower case letters. Whilst Windows considers them to be the same html does not.

I guess you could change the comma and spaces to an underscore.
