OK, I can certainly see that.

But I would respectfully suggest that if it's effectively causing the "fop" shell script to fail when executed within a stock Unix-based environment to break, it may make sense to look for other/additional approaches to resolving this problem.

I'll have to noodle around with this and see what I can come up with that preserves the sensitivity to embedded spaces in file names while addressing the failure to correctly build the command (at least under Solaris).
