While that quoting is valid, it's pretty unorthodox (and, frankly,
hideous).  It would be more sensible to just single-quote the whole
thing so you don't have to worry about zsh interpreting any special
characters anywhere in the path:

	'//username:****%5E*******%25%29@10.0.0.23/D'

Oh I see, the third character is ")".  I'd assumed that was closing
a parenthetical phrase.
