Which layer is translating the "_" char?
Are you referring to D-Bus?
IPMITool?
Some other locatioN?

It would be helpful to know.
As an example, D-Bus translates "-" to "%2D" and back because D-Bus, or 
one of the D-Bus consumers can't accept the hyphen character.

It is likely that the underscore character has some similar naming 
convention issue.

You may want to investigate using the same scheme to translate between 
"_" and a "%5F" combination.
