OK IC
thats not a problem of insufficient rights but about missing directories in the receiving directory. Sorry for missing out that problem.
If you have enough disk space, you could use cp instead of mv, which is even a more safe way.

Code:

find /home/ununun/music/ -type f -print | grep [^[:print:]] | while read file; do N=$(echo $file | tr -cd '[:print:]'); cp -rv "$file" "$N" ; done

"cp -rv" copies the files and directories (-r) and the -v makes it be verbose.

You said

yes manish == ununun ; just avoiding extra information.

If there is a problem too much information can not be a problem. The lack of information can be a problem. Don't take offense

Is "/home/manish == /home/ununun"?
I just want to understand your configuration right.

the problem is not safety. the problem bash cannot find the path. for example

Code:

# find /home/manish/music/ -print | grep '[^[:print:]]'

the problem is cp (or mv in previous case) is converting these forign characters in escape sequece.

thanks

you have used

Quote:

....cp -iv "$file" "$N"....

try

Code:

....cp -irv  "$file" "$N"....

I think the problem is not

Quote:

converting these forign characters in escape sequece

but creating the destination directories.
To check that see if you got any directories of the source "/home/manish/music/..." in "/home/ununun/music/..."
or whatever your destination is.
What is your current directory when starting the command?
