Nevermind, I must have made a typeo before because now the kernel 
accepts targets with spaces in the name just fine, as long as they are 
properly backslash escaped.

Heinz, you mentioned that dmraid should just not be using names with 
spaces in them.  My first thought was to fix dmraid to backslash escape 
the spaces, but you seem to have another idea in mind?
