/etc/fstab options with spaces in them?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows how to escape to quote options
in /etc/fstab that should have spaces in them. I'm experimenting with
unionfs, and one of the directories in my union has a space its path,
which is causing this to happen:

burner at flambe:~$ sudo mount -a
[mntent]: line 13 in /etc/fstab is bad

I've tried putting double quotes around the option, and I've tried using
blackslash to escape the space, but nothing has worked. 

Any thoughts?
