Bug Description
Create a file with a %20 in the name, like "New%20File" ( instead of "New File" ). Right click and choose compress. When file-roller calls tar, it errors out saying it can not stat "New File", since the file name is actually "New%20File".
file-roller should not unescape %xx sequences in file names.

Exactly what are you clicking on in nautilus to do this? Are you right clicking on a file with a space in the name and choosing compress? Because that works fine for me.
