However the file names contain dollar signs in their name so org-mode tries to reference that column which may or may not exist. I believe this is a bug, or perhaps I want to use some type of max depth option. Passing the literal flag doesn't help in this case.

unfortunately, there is currently no fix for this.  $500 is seen as a column specification.

The easy fix:  Don't use file names with dollars in them - this is a source of pain.
