I bet you needed to replace the space within the command string with
"\040", like this:
su - cc-server -c "screen -S srcds -X eval 'stuff sm_csay\040test\015'"
I didn't catch that there was a space between "sm_csay" and "test"
before, and I forgot to mention that you need to use the "\040" escape
sequence in its place.
