Would it work with `touch "/ -@"` (not the space)?

  how would changing the filename fix it? it's a hack relying on the globbing of the shell. if you're not using the globbing, the hack can never help you.

  No, it doesn't work. "./*" expands to "./ -@" as a single field, which rm has no problems with. (Note that, however, this is still the globbing of the shell, as far as I understand.)
