I've been working on a fix for this and related problems with path
names containing "strange" characters.   The intent is to allow
any character other than '/' or NULL in any file name used in amanda. (I.E. POSIX standard path names).

I'm looking at a couple of days to finish testing.
Are you in a hurry?

Subject: Problems with spaces in include statement?


I have a DLE that looks like the following:

server /mnt/image_New_Folder /mnt/image {
       include "./New Folder"
       ghost-image-tar
       }       -1      local


Actually - I have several DLEs I want to create that have spaces in their
names.  When I run an amcheck I get the following back for every DLE that has
an include statement with a space in the name:

ERROR: server: [No include for '/mnt/image_New_Folder']


This directory is shared over samba and the windows users will happily create
directories with spaces in their names.  I need to seperate them like this
because they are all large directories.  I've tried escaping the space "New\
Folder" but the result is the same.  Any suggestions on how I can get around
this?


Chris
