1. If it is on a FAT32 disk or partition that has been formatted
under an older version of Windows (NT 3 or 4, or Win9x) you will need
to use the old M$ 8.3 format for long or "illegal" pathnames, i.e.
D:\CLIENT~01\etc., without quotes.

2. If it is an NT 5 or higher NTFS partition, try it with single
quotes in lieu of double quotes around the path.

3. Try setting the path as an alias (in aliases.conf, no
quotes). You can then use the alias instead of trying to pass the
difficult path string in the command line.
