Anaconda debug files from /tmp/

Description of problem:

I'm using the following parameter to get the installation tree:

url --url ftp://test:redhat123\#@pruzicka.usersys.redhat.com/RHEL6.1-20110510.1-Server-x86_64-DVD1

I can see in the Wireshark the installer got the *.img files successfully, but then I got the error attached as a screenshot.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 6.1

How reproducible:
Use the kickstart file with something like
url --url ftp://user:password\#@host/

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use the kickstart file with something like
url --url ftp://user:password\#@host/
2. Use this kickstart...
  
Actual results:
I got the error (see the attached screenshot)

Expected results:
Installation should continue without the error and should be successful. 

Additional info:

The solution is to use ASCII Hex
