Sorry, that's not going to work. Whitespace isn't a great idea in shares,
so it would be simpler if you just changed the name of the share to
EAGamesD.
What *might* work is EA\040\Games\040\D, which I believe is the syntax you
need to make it work in fstab; the problem, of course, is that once you
move through a shell layer your share is interpreted as "EA" plus some
junk on the command line. You *might* get some mileage out of "\"EA Games
D\"", but again I'll point out, that spaces in shares cause all kinds of
things to break.
