Hi ,

We have a central NFS server from where we pull packages for installation across several windows VMs. Previously, these worked because they had no space . Now we are trying to copy a package with spaces in it , and it looks something like this:

windows_package "<pkg name>"
source "\\nfsserver\mozilla firefox 3.0"  (for example)
<remaining stuff>
end

This doesn't seem to work . We thought we hit - http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-1697 but then saw that we are using chef gem 0.10.6 in which this has been fixed.  We constantly get errors when we try this . We tried  a variety of things , from escaping the space to even adding a "%20" to represent the space.

Can you please help me out with any options that will fix this ?

thanks
Ranjan
