Or, better still, mount the ensppaced path to an alias sans, spaces.

E.g., /etc/fstab entry:

c:/home/steve/My\040Documents /zwup/steves_docs  some_fs binary 0 0

'zwup'? Z -- end of the alphabet, keeps them out of the way for find; WUP -- windows ugly paths

then, target directory is  /zwup/steves_docs/bglibs



C:/Program\040Files\040(x86)/ACD\040Systems/ACDSee/10.0 /zup/ACDSee_10 
some_fs binary 0 0
