The OP claimed to have issues with spaces in directory paths, etc.  Actually,
I can't reproduce that behavior based on his report, at least not on Linux
(I'm Cygwin-less ATM).  So the above is offered as something to try to help
the OP zero in on the problem.  Perhaps it is just his use of non-POSIX paths,
in which case using POSIX paths is the best and simplest alternative.
