Well first of all your File naming scheme seems to be broken. Looks like the Format is the same as the Display name - but while the Display name can be arbitraty, the Format string needs to express what you want the file name to be like in Tagz code (Tagz is the name of the formatting language used by foobar)

I'm guessing that the format you actually wanted is "etree style"; for this change the Format to:
Code:
%abbr%%date%t$tracknumber(2)

The underscores are there because your Format contains slashes which are invalid characters for file names in Windows (and pretty much all other operating systems as well). Such invalid characters (like /,\,:,?,*) are converted to underscores when renaming.

Slashes and backslashes are sort of a special case because they are used as folder name delimiters in path names. You can use them in the renaming Format to automagically create subfolders based on tag values if you tick that Create subdirectories... check box in the renaming dialog.
