I've discovered a solution to this issue.

.Net 4.0 has actually fixed the problem with special characters in the URI Template.

This thread pointed me in the right direction. http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/dataservices/thread/b5a14fc9-3975-4a7f-bdaa-b97b8f26212b

I added all the config settings and it worked. But note, it ONLY works with a REAL IIS setup with .Net 4.0. I can't seem to get it to work with the Visual Studio Dev IIS.

Update - Actually, I tried removing those config settings and it still works. It maybe be that .Net 4.0 has fixed this problem by default.
