No.
As has been repeatedly said the problem is with how you are
dealing with whitespace in the shell. If you insist on
fighting this battle with fagile methods you need to start
debugging the problem.
In your script replace rsync with this shell script
-----------------------
#/bin/bash
for arg in "$@"
do
echo $arg
done
-----------------------
Then you can fiddle with escapements and IFS and other
tricks. Do that until you get one expected argument per
line of output then put rsync back into the picture.
This is not an rsync problem, it is a shell problem. There
are many resources out there for shell scripting. The rsync
mailing list is not one of them.
Good luck
