file/directory names.

NOTE: be careful about passing paths that may contain filenames with
wildcards in them (as opposed to passing an actual wildcarded path) -
since we use glob.glob() to expand the path. Filenames containing
square brackets are particularly problematic since the they may not
actually expand to match the original filename.
