Blimey. Yes. You appear to have your filenames saved with the characters represented as HTML entities. Whatever you're doing to save the filenames themselves needs to change. If you have access to MS Word, open up one of the documents, and do a 'save as' (in text format) from there. I'm pretty certain that Word will give you 'proper' unicode filenames, though it may use UTF-16 to do it. If that's the case, you'll probably see something like {greek character}?{greek character}?{greek character}..., which will at least confirm that your cmd.exe codepage settings are correct.
