If you use backslashes to quote the spaces in the name of the destination
directory, does it give a better result?

It's possible there are too many arguments on the command line - OS X may have
a much more restrictive limit than Linux does. Under Linux, I think you can
vary this by changing the stack size with the ulimit command.

that certainly suggests the second problem.

I'm too new to OS X to know what the limits are.
