The shell has some issues with spaces in filenames because it needs to  
separate arguments somehow. Why does nupas have issues?

I've never looked at nupas, but if it involves shell scripts; well, I  
managed to get rc-httpd to deal with spaces in file names without too  
much trouble. rc doesn't make it too hard to do. Maybe I'll have a  
look at nupas when I'm more awake.
