Oops, apparently I forgot how to count... the last item on my list, about quoting the file specification, should be number 5.
The two pairs of quotes are important, because with only one pair of quotes, the client will split the string you have into three items, where the blanks spaces occur. The extra pair of quotes ensure the client correctly treats that directory name as a single string.
