Unfortunately "*_vti_*" is not allowed in the name of a folder, see https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/2933738/restrictions-and-limitations-when-you-sync-sharepoint-libraries-to-you

I guess they've blocked it in a file name as well.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of any strings that aren't allowed, just characters :)

_vti_ is part of special path used by SharePoint and as you know, ODFB is built on top of SharePoint so that's the reason why this string is not supported in a file / folder name (at least for now)
