What a horrendously bad idea/habit putting spaces in file and directory
names. UNIX will give you fits about that. Change the space to an
underscore, hyphen, or just remove it completely. Your problem will go
away. This is not Windoze, it's Linux and works as UNIX has been
designed to work since long before M$ even existed. STOP USING SPACES
IN FILE/DIRECTORY NAMES!
M$ Windoze: we teach bad habits so you can't change operating systems
easily.
