Hi Rainer,

The leading "[" makes the string result look like a list to Babel, so it
is passed to the `read' function which then escapes the periods in the
file name.  You can inhibit this interpretation of the string by
explicitly informing the code block that you will be returning a string
with the ":results scalar" header argument.  You may also want to look
at the ":results file" header argument.

Best -- Eric
