I had similiar problem some times ago and I had to change the dam 
source. It was on 03.2008. I do not know if this instruction is still 
valid as the file binding/tce/class.tx_dam_tce_extfilefunc.php could 
change since then but you could try:

----------------
in file binding/tce/class.tx_dam_tce_extfilefunc.php
at line 328
there is:

$theName = tx_dam::file_makeCleanName($_FILES['upload_'.$id]['name']);
#$theName = $this->cleanFileName($_FILES['upload_'.$id]['name']);


It's enough to uncomment line 329 and let the standard function 
"cleanFileName" do the right job.
