Actually / are not allowed in object path names because they are used to
delimit object paths but that is all semantics ;-)

I was thinking a better fix would to fix dbus to allow escape sequences
like in URI's. (e.g. %20 = ' ').  But if you are reasonably sure that we
won't have udi clashes when converting illegal characters to '_' I'll do
that.  It is the easy fix.
