This is a dupe of bug #482.  The workaround is to use the 8.3 name
("userna~1")
for the directory.

The parser need to learn how to either escape spaces (John\ Smith), understand
quotes ("John Smith") or both.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 482 ***

Oops, I see that the issue is the username not a pathname containing a
username, which means the workaround is bogus.  There's a patch attached to
bug
#482 which makes the parser allow spaces prefixed by a "\".  Your
example would
be:

User foo\ bar

Having thought about it, though, I think using quotes instead would be more
logical.  At some point I'll hang another diff on bug #482 to do this.
