no, it means you need to quote the name or match the space.
For instance, here's part of my standard configuration I'll put in a
<hostname>.pl file for a client I want to back up via SMB. Extrapolate from
this what you need for specifying your paths.


# Sometimes rsync/rsyncd yields md4 errors and SMB 
# (really tar over SMB, I believe) must be used
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'smb';
$Conf{SmbShareName} = 'c$';
$Conf{SmbShareUserName} = 'Administrator';
$Conf{SmbSharePasswd} = 'XXXXXXXXX';

# If you put a trailing slash at the end of an SMB exclude,
# it will give you an error.
# For SMB excludes, the slashes need to be in the windows direction (\)
# instead of the Unix direction (/).
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
       'c$' => [
