            I think you may have diagnosed the problem by your last sentence: Having a
    share name with a space in it. You may have to go into the Registry and put
    quotes around the entire path, since spaces in file names and paths sometimes
    fouls things up.

            Also, I recommend mapping the share to a drive letter on each of the Windows
    clients. [You can select any letter from D to Z; but convention calls for
    network drives to occupy N through Y.]

            Hope this helps!
            Dan

    PS: Z can be selected; but certain clients increment drive letters causing
    crashes when Z is used!
