When ‘C:\Program Files’ is actually ‘C:\PROGRA~1’

So for whatever reason Unison (text mode) on Vista just wouldn’t except paths in command line arguments that had a space in it - it just so happened that the SSH connect batch file lived in ‘Program Files”. I tried quoting the path, escaping the space - just about everything under the sun. The only method that worked in the end was to change the ‘Program Files’ part to it’s DOS equivalent - ‘PROGRA~1’

Hopefully this will save someone from pulling there hair out at some point!
