Ahh, now all is clear, it is not the space that is a problem but the () which cause the shell to spawn a sub-shell hence the error. So there are two options, first don't use special shell characters in the directory names, it linux and unix it bad to do so. Bash will escape then correctly but the code in the mounter does not. I need to fix the mounter trying to mount something that is mounted already and may be change this so that it runs the mount command to run it directly. In the meantime, re-burn the CD with sensible (in terms of the shell) directory names. > It almost seems that one may not have spaces in the path to the > movies.
