This seems to be related to a long standing issue with BinkD escaping filenames incorrectly. You'll have to get it fixed in BinkD.
A47 has a workaround for the BinkD bugs but A46 would not.

This is not a properly escaped filename being sent by BinkD as it does not follow the BINKP protocol specifications for filename escaping:
5.2 File Name Issues
--------------------
In Mailer-parseable commands that contain a file name, the file name MUST NOT include a whitespace (ASCII value 20 hex). The file name SHOULD NOT include symbols other than alphanumeric (A-Z,a-z,0-9) and safe characters as defined below in BNF. All other symbols are to be considered unsafe and SHOULD be escaped in the form of two hexadecimal digits preceded by a backslash (e.g. a whitespace must be transmitted as "\20").
