Hello,

I am trying to get the amanda client running under cygwin on win2k. amcheck doesn't like spaces in the directory in disklist. I am trying to do something like

win2kpc   /cgydrive/c/Documents and Settings   srv-comp-user-tar

There does not seem to be any way to escape the spaces. Glancing at the source, it looks like the macro in skip_non_whitespace in common/amanda.h needs to be a bit smarter to know about quoted or escaped strings. Any other work-arrounds for this?

Thanks,

   Andy
