  Benefits of the solution:
  Will be able to run prefetch with
  --dir-list-file option where the list
  can contain encoded names of
  directories - as generated by
  checkUncached checks.
  
  Work around:
  Decode the directory list
  by hand and feed it to
  prefetch.
  
  Problem trigger:
  Running prefetch (
  with or without --metadata-only option)
  using a list of encoded
  directory names - like the one
  generated from checkUncached
  (during mmchfileset command run).
  
  Symptom:
  Unexpected behavior.
  
  Platforms affected:
  All Linux OS environments (AFM Gateway nodes)
  
  Functional Area affected:
