I've been hammered by this so many times over the years that  avoid  
spaces in directory and file names like the plague. I've also returned  
to my roots and use only lower case as a naming convention. I've been  
burned by that as well.

*nix will handle the names, but it isn't particularly clean,  
especially if you ever use the terminal.
