File names received from GList parameter in
invoke_external_bulk_rename_utility are URL-encoded. Spaces in names
replaced with '%20' literal.

Glib processes arguments and checks if for macro literals. It treats '%20' as macro '%2' and symbol '0'. So it filters out '%2' and leaves only zero. 
E.g. 'file:///long%20directory/file%20name' will be translated to 'file:///long0directory/file0name'

One of the possible solutions is to URL-unescape file names.

Title:
  nautilus passes invalid URIs to bulk-rename-tool

Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Spaces or cyrillic symbols in folder names are not passed correctly.
  For example, for the selected files "/home/user/untitled/untitled
  folder/testfile*"", nautilus passes the following URIs as arguments:

  file:///home/user/untitled/untitled02/testfile1
  file:///home/user/untitled/untitled02/testfile2

  And for "/home/user/untitled/папка/testfile*", the following URIs:

  file:///home/user/untitled/0F000F0A00/testfile1
  file:///home/user/untitled/0F000F0A00/testfile2
