[Anthill] VSS help needed

Hi Brian,
I had already applied a similar patch here (quote before the cd, and
end quote in all other pagelets) but I ran into another problem. If the
path to the UNC drive where VSS is had a space, it would also fail.
Something like this: \\foo\bar\prj 2.0\
The equivalent test case is:
1) go to c:\temp
2) run this: cmd /x/c cd "\Documents and Settings" && dir
the contents of "\Documents and Settings" is *not* listed
instead, you get c:\temp
You need the quotes around the whole thing and also individual paths
which could also have spaces:
1) go to c:\temp
2) run this: cmd /x/c "cd "\Documents and Settings" && dir"
the contents of "\Documents and Settings" *is* listed
Anyway, I got the VSS admin folks here to rename their dir to avoid the
space for now. This means I can no longer test your patch for the space
problem :-(
So... I am not sure it is ok to commit the fix. As I said, the space
exposed a problem with the patch. What is even more strange... after
they removed the space, I was able to run even without the patch.
Strange and confusing. I am sorry I no longer have my original test
case (dir with space) :-( Can you by any chance try this scenario?
