I have looked into this, and this isn't the problem - the pathnames HostFS
presents to RISC OS are perfectly okay. The problem is that RISC OS strips the
filename then sends it back to HostFS. I believe this is probably to do with
RISC OS 4 handling of long file names - presumably there's a different
initialisation needed to present HostFS as a filesystem that handles long file
names/file names with spaces, but I don't know what it is.
