Do you mean:

  % mkdir "/tmp/Foo/Apr 26 2004 (Camcorder)"

> In emacs, bring up dired on Foo; C-x d "/tmp/Foo"
> Mark the directory called "/tmp/Apr 26 2004 (Camcorder)"
> M-: (dired-get-marked-files)

> ("/tmp/Foo/Apr 26 2004 (Camcorder)")  is the expected response.

This works correctly in the development version of Emacs (if `ls'
supports the `--dired' option).  Please either use Emacs from CVS or
wait for the soon-to-be-released next version.
