I am trying to call ssh using the ant exec task from maven. My problem is that 
I can't figure out how to escape spaces in usernames. I have tried:

<exec executable="sed" failonerror="true" inputstring="stein inge morisbak" 
outputproperty="username">
   <arg value="s/ /\\ /g" />
</exec>

<exec executable="ssh" failonerror="true">
   <arg value="${username}@localhost" />
   <arg value="if [ -f /tmp/test.txt ]; then rm -f /tmp/test.txt ; fi" />
</exec>


... and also:

<exec executable="ssh" failonerror="true">
   <arg value="&quot;stein inge morisbak&quot;@localhost" />
   <arg value="if [ -f /tmp/test.txt ]; then rm -f /tmp/test.txt ; fi" />
</exec>

... and finally:

<exec executable="ssh" failonerror="true">
   <arg value="'stein inge morisbak'@localhost" />
   <arg value="if [ -f /tmp/test.txt ]; then rm -f /tmp/test.txt ; fi" />
</exec>

... but no luck :-(

Any ideas?
