Thanks to suggestions from others we've worked out what is going on. Quoted
filenames all seem to get picked up, but unquoted ones don't if they contain
characters other than alphanumerics, dots and hyphens.

We've tried replacing [\\\\w.-]+ with .+ in the parts that match the
filename. This seems to work. I'm not aware of any pitfalls but if anyone
can see any I'd appreciate any advice in this area.
