 Inconsistent treatment of NotifyScript between Boxi and BB

 NotifyScript = "C:\Documents and
 Settings\Administrador\NotifySysAdmin.cmd"
 SyncAllowScript = C:\Documents and
 Settings\Administrador\SyncAllowScript.cmd

 Please note that NotifyScript needs qutation marks around filenames with
 spaces, whereas SyncAllowScript does not. NotifyScript under bbackupd.exe
 will result in errors like this when no "" are used around filenames with
 spaces:

 C:\Documents is not recognised as an internal or external command, program
 or batch file.
 WARNING: Notify script returned error code: 1 ('C:\Documents and
 Settings\Administrador\NotifySysAdmin.cmd read-error')

 So we add spaces around the NotifyScript to please BB, but then Boxi
 complains with

 The Notify Script does not exist ("C:\Documents and
 Settings\Administrador\NotifySysAdmin.cmd")

 In addition, when ignoring Boxi's error above (we know that the file
 exists, and that BB needs spaces around it!) and trying to restore (which
 should not require NotifyScript at all), the following error is given upon
 trying to log into the server on tab "Restore Files" to selec the files:

 ---------------------------
 Boxi Error
 ---------------------------
 Error connecting to server: Connection SocketNameLookupError (Check
 hostname specified.)
 ---------------------------
 OK
 ---------------------------

 Possible solution: check in the Box Backup source why Notify and SyncAllow
 treat spaces in filenames differently, and make sure they both accept
 filenames with spaces without the need for quotation marks.
