Bash - parentheses quoting filename doesn't work
I can't quote the name whatever I do.
I noticed that ' is replaced somehow to ` when bash complains.
In the same time I can open file using nautilus.
Any ideas?

The quotes are just part of the message, not the filename. Try echo *.dbf | xxd to see the exact character codes (The first character might be P as well as Cyrillic R etc., or there might be an invisible character somewhere.)
