[ale] stupid windows directory names with spaces in them...

[Geoffrey]

Can anyone suggest a way I can create a tar file of a set of files that 
meet the above subjects criteria?

I've tried escaping the bloody things, and tar still craps out.  I've 
tried wrapping the fully qualified filename in quotes, still no go.

I've tried the following from the top of the mounted directory:

tar -cvzf /tmp/data.tgz $(find . -name '*.dat' -print)
tar -cvzf /tmp/data.tgz $(find . -name '*.dat' -printf "\"%p\"\n")

Sent the list of files to a file (/tmp/filelist) and escaped the spaces
(as in Program\ Files)

tar -cvzf /tmp/date.tgz $(</tmp/filelist)

What does it take other then fdisk to get over this headache???

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
