Trying to prepare any file for staging using the python bindings `client.FileSystem.prepare()` method results in an unexpected error and a core dump, specifically:
```
from XRootD import client
from XRootD.client.flags import PrepareFlags
myclient = client.FileSystem("root://server_name")
status, _ = myclient.prepare(["/path/to/file.txt"], PrepareFlags.STAGE)
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error'
what(): basic_string::_S_construct null not valid
Aborted (core dumped)
```
Calling the equivalent prepare command with `xrdfs prepare -s ` etc. works successfully on the same system. Slightly unsure what the format should be for the list of files (the documentation is not super clear on this). I have tried a list of File objects, and paths to the relevant files as strings, but to no avail.
