What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I’m not precisely sure with which version of rclone this started happening, but after updating recently, I have started seeing the following notice when running “rclone sync” with two of my encrypted remote folders -
NOTICE: ꏺ沣庘媘䃨蓪㹓鶗❈㕟肩ҿ䐷莈䵷嘑厳蜼㝮燉磕葜熞玽ᆕ愬聇谈礆䂡㇞倝俵髼ɟ/㿄䈸㤦槚蝄⡘䘺欹嶃▸萰固ߊ哙ᣓ䥼禰痰㯔䅀㛞晪㯔伔闕ꂟ (Conflict ): Skipping undecryptable file name: illegal base32768 data at input byte 52
The sync still seems to complete OK, but if there’s a problem with my files, I’d like to fix it!
I use several other rclone commands similar to the below which do not produce the notice, and differ only in the path/folder that I am trying to synchronise (but these directories are all on the same, encrypted remote). This makes me think that either -
(a) there’s a couple of files on my system which are causing trouble somehow, but I do not know how to (locally) map/decode the base32768-encoded names to pinpoint them, or
(b) maybe there’s something in rclone’s name encryption routine which “doesn’t like” certain filenames (since I only have this problem with (I think) two files out of tens of thousands)…
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
rclone sync --progress --jottacloud-no-versions --jottacloud-hard-delete --low-level-retries 30 --delete-before --transfers 4 --order-by modtime,ascending --check-first --exclude-from /root/rclone_exclude "/path/to/files" "jottacloud_encrypted:Diskstation/path/to/files"
Please run 'rclone config redacted' and share the full output. If you get command not found, please make sure to update rclone.
