The fact that rsync is explicitly showing those single quotes from your config line tells me that those aren't working how you think they should. As a test I added a vault with spaces in the tree, and strange things happened with the tree name as-is; from the summary: tree: /tmp/This is a directory ... ACTION: rsync -vrltH --delete -D -pgo --stats --numeric-ids --exclude-from=/tmp/dirvish/x/20150909/exclude /tmp/Thi/ /tmp/dirvish/x/20150909/tree How it gets from "/tmp/This is a directory" to "/tmp/Thi/" is weird... However, with this it works: tree: /tmp/This\ is\ a\ directory No messing with any quotes. > And another question: Is it possible to use a symlink to avoid the issue > of the space in the directory name? Yes. $ cd /home/household $ ln -s VirtualBox\ VMs VirtualBox-VMs and then use /home/household/VirtualBox-VMs in your dirvish config.
