Tim,

 All ideas appreciated. That's what I need right now.

 As for the conversion its the web app that is doing it. So I send a space
through BURP and when the app sends the command to the shell it becomes
%20.

 sigh.

The server or the browser is doing the conversion? If browser, try using
an interception proxy and fiddling with it there. 

Have you tried '+' instead of space? 

Just throwing ideas out there at this point. On Jun 14, 2012 8:26 AM,

 I haven't tried tabs.

 One thing I forgot to mention is that the limitation on space is because
the web server converts the space to %20 and this cant be interpreted by
the shell.

 Have you tried using tabs instead of spaces?
