Research direction
The report names only a post-fetch job, an exception about illegal path characters, a timestamp, and three MountIds; it provides no file, test, or entry point. Start by locating the post-fetch job and reproducing or tracing the failure for those enlistments, then identify the invalid path and verify that the job handles it correctly without the exception.
