Sorry, I dont believe you.  
Either you address %\_filename% then all \ are illegal and you really get only teh plain filename.  
Rr you address %\_folderpath% but then the filename is not included.

What have you stored in the tag fields?  
But even the filename you show now has no \ in it.

It would be easiest to write a new filename with  
Convert\>Tag-Filename: %title%
