Rob,

I doubt this has anything to do with spaces. You can not connect to a
Windows Classic server via direct file access like you can with
Superserver. You must instead use a TCP Loopback connection.

I do not know if the spaces are handled incorrectly by IBX, or
whether your problem is some name resolution issue. A better approach
may be to use aliases, so the connection string is independent of
where the database sits, (which may change from time to time as new
partitions are added etc).
