When converting trailing spaces and periods in paths, do so for every component of the path, not just the last component. If the conversion is not done for every path component, then subsequent operations in directories with trailing spaces or periods (e.g. create(), mkdir()) will fail with ENOENT. This is because on the server, the directory will have a special symbol in its name, and the client needs to provide the same.
