OK... well I have a situation now where the source path (tree: ) 
contains a space.  I can't get the quotes passed to the rsync command 
line.  So far, the following attempts to specify the path have not worked. 
tree: "/home/database backups"
tree: /home/"database backups"
tree: /home/database[ ]backups
tree: /home/database[.]backups
tree: /home/database backups
tree: /home/database\ backups
tree: /home/database\\ backups

I even tried

tree: [/home/database backups]

to no avail.   As soon as the dirvish scripts see that space in the path 
the path gets truncated. If I modify the rsync command posted in summary 
and put quotes around the source path, all is well.
