Just tried to reproduce this. Called my usb stick ''Mr. Black'' and that works
fine. I gues the version of pmount in testing is too old, causing some

We don't use that hal callout currently in debian, but instead we're using
pmount. I agree fully with you that when we switch to the hal callouts, mounts
with spaces should still works fine.
