Is the problem with Rev or QT? Can you play the movie in QT Player and can you open a text file form the .PSF folder? This is a just a wild guess, but what happens if you convert the file name using shortFilePath() or longFilePath()? This might just re-arrange it in some way so that Rev/QT can work it out.
