My backend is "sftp" against a synology diskstation. I can either use an SMB mount and copy the file in question (Icon^M) or I can use the SFTP programme to do the same. In both cases, the file is created/copied.
The error message is spurious. Files with control characters in the name can indeed be stored.
A kluge to fail and not report the error is not a solution.
This is in the process of being fixed in https://github.com/rclone/rclone/pull/3148
You could try the beta there: https://beta.rclone.org/branch/v1.49.0-031-ge5c6c14b-filename-encode-beta/
I think I used the wrong beta to test against.
Lets try again.....
Works! Great. Thanks for that.

sync synced them, and check no longer complains.
Great - thanks for testing 
I hope to have that PR merged for v1.50
