in one of my exclude paths, i have a space.
this is a GNU/Linux client, but it's backing up a Windows share (in
other words, stored locally and shared via cifs to Windows clients. the
directory itself is on an ext3 fs, obviously).
normal BASH-magic does not work: i've tried single quotes, double
quotes, and even tried escaping the path with a \ but all to no avail.
it just doesn't seem to want to parse that whitespace.
and, unfortunately, i don't see any examples or references on how to do
this in list archives, community documentation, etc. (and it's
DEFINITELY not one of the examples given in the conf file).
anyone have any idea how to do this?
using v.0.10
if this is a bug and has been fixed in .11, let me know.

I wish ZORK had co-op mode.
