This is known problem with native Mac filesystem, because it tends to do denormalization of unicode
filenames. John Meinel can provide more details, but as I remember there is no simple way to solve
this problem because when you wrote unicode filename from python and then read back directory
listing you'll get different form of unicode (literally: different bytes).
