Ah, you're using the latest Fedora packaging of 9.1.x, which includes a
back-ported version of the unix_socket_directories change that's in
HEAD. -k now effectively takes a list of directory names, not just
one, and it's pickier about whitespace.
IIRC, you can make it work if you put double quotes around the
space-containing name, so it'd look like this:
-k '"/blah blah blah"'
