This is not really a bug, but the documented way rsync currently works. It uses unescaped spaces to allow the user to ask for multiple arguments from the remote host, and thus requires that filenames with spaces be escaped in some shell-compatible manner.
Another way to avoid the problem is to use the --files-from option, even if you're just asking for one file. This works fine because filenames read via --files-from are used literally, with no special handling needed for space-containing names. ..wayne.. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
