Don't know then. If your description is accurate, this makes little
sense. Spaces in a directory/file name are quite valid, and I do not
know why renaming it would change things. One thing that you should
probably do right away is unmount the directory (if it is mounted
somewhere other than below /), and run fsck on the partition. If the
directory is just a sub-directory on /, use a live CD or distro CD
in rescue mode, and run fsck on /. File-system corruption could
conceivably be a source of this problem, though I do not see how it
would lead to the symptoms that you describe.
