Dang! I was just about to post a reply when I saw you'd beaten me to it,
has! My own suggestion doesn't include traps, but I'm posting it anyway -
mainly because I've done it now! :-D

======================================================

property goodText : ".0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKL[NO-BREAK]
MNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"

to checkFolder(x)
tell application "Finder" to [NO-BREAK]
set {fList, dList} to x's {folders, document files}
repeat with f in fList
checkFolder(f)
end repeat
repeat with d in dList
checkName(d)
end repeat
checkName(x)
end checkFolder

to checkName(i)
set n to ""
tell application "Finder" to set o to i's name
repeat with c in o
if c is in goodText then set n to n & c
end repeat
if n is not o then tell application "Finder" to set i's name to n
end checkName

checkFolder(choose folder with prompt "Select folder to be checked.")
