Bug Description
If you use shares-admin to share a folder via NFS (Shared Folders: Shared Folders: Add) and you pick out a path that includes embedded spaces, the string is included verbatim (that is, without escaping the spaces) in the configuration (/etc/exports in particular), and thus the share will utterly fail.
