sup talk - Oct 2011 - Adding maildir folder with a space

Hi I''m trying to add a source folder that has a space in the name, but
I can''t
find the right way escape the space in my URI. Currently I have this in my
sources.yaml and it''s not working:

   - !masanjin.net,2006-10-01/Redwood/Maildir
   uri: maildir:/home/marty/lavabit/Acct%20Dtls
   usual: true
   archived: false
   id: 7
   labels:
   - register

This is the error I get in the log:
WARNING: problem getting messages from maildir:/home/marty/lavabit/Acct%20Dtls:
/home/marty/lavabit/Acct%20Dtls/cur not a directory 

Is it possible to use a folder name with a space?

The URI is a file path in this case, so the usual way of putting a
space in is to put a backslash in front of the space. So for
sources.yaml you could do:

uri: maildir:/home/marty/lavabit/Acct\ Dtls

I should have mentioned that I tried that before. The error looks like this:
--- URI::InvalidURIError from thread: main
bad URI(is not URI?): maildir:/home/marty/lavabit/Acct\ Dtls
/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/uri/common.rb:156:in `split''
/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/uri/common.rb:174:in `parse''
/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/uri/common.rb:628:in `parse''
/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/uri/common.rb:854:in `URI''

Don''t you need to have three slashes: maildir:///path/to/dir
