has no one ever used a space in a password before?

i seem to be having trouble with certain characters in machine names and
passwords.
specifically, there is a hyphen in on of the server's names. this entry in
the fstab file fails to connect with the following error:
# mount /root/it-blackbox/c\$/
Password:
Anonymous login successful
18867: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)
SMB connection failed
the line from fstab is:
//it-blackbox/c$ /root/it-blackbox/c$ smbfs noauto,credentials=/root/.smbauth 0
0
the .smbauth file contents are:
username = administrator
workgroup = mcstamp
this work correctly for another share on a machine without the hyphen in the
name on the same domain.
the other problem i have is that the password has a space in it, and I can't
seem to get the password to work using quotes or using the backslash. this
forces me to do an interactive mount (yes, i know i have it set to noauto. that
is because it fails the password and i have to do it manually anyway. i
don't want it to sit and wait for the password during bootup.) HELP!!!
