that contains whitespace in the name, but I 
keep getting errors, saying that the directory 
doesn't exist.

I have tried the \ thing and also using quotes.
No success.....

rsync --dry-run -avrW "ssh -i /home/michel/.ssh/wmmw-rsync-key" 
/Applications/4D Business Kit 2.2.4 (391)/WMMW_Site/WebDemos/
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/michel/backup

Also tried escaping the (391) like \(391\)

rsync --dry-run -avrW "ssh -i /home/michel/.ssh/wmmw-rsync-key"
/Applications/4D\ Business\ Kit\ 2.2.4\ (391)/WMMW_Site/WebDemos/
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/michel/backup

Here is the sample command with quotes
Also tried escaping the entire directory like
"/Applications/4D Business Kit 2.2.4 (391)/WMMW_Site/WebDemos/"

rsync --dry-run -avrW "ssh -i /home/michel/.ssh/wmmw-rsync-key" 
/Applications/"4D
Business Kit 2.2.4 (391)"/WMMW_Site/WebDemos/
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/michel/backup

Any suggestions?
