 mono/mono/io-layer/io.c uses the glob(7) function to parse the
 pattern.  glob accepts three wild cards *, ?, and brackets (character
 classes).  It's unclear what the desired functionality of pattern
 matching should be.  If it is to correspond to Win32 pattern matching,
 then all brackets should be escaped.  Otherwise, the behavior is
 correct, and it's up to the user to do her own escaping.

+i'm not sure what you mean.  How would i escape the brackets?
+
+escaping the brackets in code like this:
+args[0].Replace( "[", "\\[" ).Replace( "]", "\\]" ) 
+results gives:
+DirectoryNotFoundException: Directory '\[testdir\]' not found.
+
+..which makes sense to me.  
+
+I don't see how this behavior is correct, as i can't seem to find a 
+way to list the contents of a folder with bracket's in the name.  
+
+using DirectoryInfo doesn't seem to help either, as you can see in 
+the example attached.
