[Box Backup] Exclude directory with space in the name from backup on OS X - BB 0.10

[Ben Summers]

You shouldn't need quotes or escapes.

Are you sure it's actually a space in that filename?

If you create a temporary directory with a space in it, can you  
exclude that one/

What if you use a regexp instead?
