On *nix, look for a utility called convmv. I've got a hunch that your original file comes from a windows host, and the filenames may have been copied from a word document or something similar. Microsoft knows best, and thus tends to convert regular dashes into some weird, slightly elongated version. If you copy that to a filename, and then move that file to a *nix host, you get strange stuff. It's all for your own good, apparently.
