How are you sending? You cannot conserve "symbol 2" in a list- or
meta-message as in 
  
  [4(
  |
  [makefilename %d]
  |
  [send /test $1(
  |
  [sendOSC]

as that would be sending the equivalent of [send /test 4( and your
"symbol" is gone before it reaches the [sendOSC]. You could of course
send: [send /test symbol 4( though you wouldn't need [makefilename] for
that (and it still wouldn't be a string for most apps...)

Ciao
