While it is true that escaping/encoding the filenames properly leads mostly to success, I also have noticed some strange behavior if the files are located on a mounted share which uses a different encoding that then the machine xbmc runs on. For example I had issues that local files (on the xbmc host) with special characters have been working but remote ones (on a mounted share) not. After UTF-8 encoding my commands I only could open the remote ones, but not the local ones any more.
I have also reported a bug for this back then: http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/11634
@grifter: It might help if you add your findings there so we might can see a pattern which makes it easier to find the issue.
