This looks like a shell issue to me.
Try
> rsync "root at
192.168.101.53:/Volumes/WD-Daten/XserveMirror/Satz/Akzidenzen\ 2012/"
"/Volumes/PromiseRAID/Satz/Akzidenzen 2012" 2>&1
And
> rsync "root at
192.168.101.53:'/Volumes/WD-Daten/XserveMirror/Satz/Akzidenzen
2012/'" "/Volumes/PromiseRAID/Satz/Akzidenzen 2012"
2>&1
When the path is being sent to the remote system there needs to be something
telling the remote system that the blank is part of the file name.
