[Bug 503851] [NEW] not handling directory-names with spaces properly

[jzacsh]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: backup-manager

To run backup-manager manually, sometimes I'll:

sudo -i
backup-manager &
disown
exit

Whenever I run backup-manager manually, I get the following error output
to whatever terminal I'm in:

Unable to create "/multidrive/backup/pickup/backup-manager/boxName-multidrive.20100106.master.tar.gz", check /tmp/bm-tarball.log.dSg2St
Target "/home/uname/Ubuntu" does not exist, skipping.
Target "One" does not exist, skipping.
3 errors occurred during the tarball generation.

I'm not sure why there's a failure (first line of the message), but
here's the referenced log's contents:

$ sudo less /tmp/bm-tarball.log.dSg2St
/bin/tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
/bin/tar: /multidrive/backup/pickup/backup-manager/boxName-multidrive.20100106.master.tar.gz: file changed as we read it

If anyone can help me with that, then great... but more so what this bug
is about is the face that the last two "target does not exist" errors
seem to be ocurring purely because it looks like the program must be
working from its own `ls` output, and didn't properly utilize it (put it
in quotes...? maybe?) and is breaking up what should be
'/home/uname/Ubuntu One'

(should Ubuntu One be named in such a manner? idk.. that's another
story... ... should that break this program? I don't think so.) Let me
know if I should file this somewhere else. :)
