We can't see into your system. What is the content of your /etc/fstab file? Is it possible to provide one line out of your file that illustrates how this does not work? Perhaps pipe that one line through od -c so that we know for sure what and where the whitespace is? (Mailers have been notoriously broken without regards to whitespace and I fear it won't survive a mailing correctly.)
