NFS server/exports - exported path with embedded spaces is not successful

[D O Newbold]

Attempts to export a directory fail when the directory name includes space characters.

I use the following to provide read-only access to my entire C:\ drive.
This is successful.

        /cygdrive/c    (ro,all_squash,no_root_squash)

I use additional lines to further control access to various c:\ subdirectories.
These are also successful.

        /cygdrive/c/gsc               (rw,all_squash,no_root_squash)
        /cygdrive/c/temp              (rw,all_squash,no_root_squash)
        /cygdrive/c/Users             (noaccess)
        /cygdrive/c/virtual_machines  (noaccess)

There are other c:\ subdirectories for which I also desire additional control.

In this case this is as expected according to documented operation.

        /cygdrive/c/Program Files     (noaccess)

However, I have tried variations, none of which have been successful.
  double quotes
  single quotes
  escaping the space

        "/cygdrive/c/Program Files"   (noaccess)
        '/cygdrive/c/Program Files'   (noaccess)
        /cygdrive/c/Program\ Files    (noaccess)

I've read the man page and find no clarification on the embedded space case.
I don't know if this is a bug or just a shortcoming.

Thanks,

Don

The example given here has not been successful due to the embedded space in the path name.
