 * Hey. First of all, thank you for this great plugin, it’s a masterpiece.
 * I’m having a problem regarding the users abilities to create folders.
    I am using
   this shortcode:
 * [fileaway type=”table” fadein=”opacity” makedir=”true” fadetime=”500″ theme=”
   silk” bulkdownload=”on” manager=”on” name=”files” sub=”/fa-userrole/fa-username”
   password=”pass” user_override=”fa-userid”]
 * Everything works well, the users are able to create directories and everything,
   with one exception. If the username contains a period ( . ), then the creation
   of directories becomes a problem. It seems that it creates another folder without
   the period in its name. So, for example, let’s take the user test.test . The 
   files can be found in the “test.test” folder, but when the user creates a new
   sub directory, a new folder is created on the base folder with the same name 
   as the user but the period is replaced by space (test test), and that’s where
   it creates the new subdirectory, while all the files are on the ‘test.test’ folder.
   Any ideas? Thank you!
