Issue/Introduction

When running a script on a windows server which passes a prompt containing a UNC path with spaces, the path is truncated following the space. This is seen even when encapsulating the UNC path in double quote characters. An example of this can be seen below with double quotes around the UNC path prompt...

Full UNC path prompt: \\Automic\shared\RepShared\Item Test\FILE

When processed through ntspawn the command line run appears as followed...

"C:\PerlSample\berry\perl\bin\perl C:\ffapps\pperl\bin\movestuff.pl batch/testpass@test C:/ffapp/in/SAMPLE/ITEM_Example* //Automic/shared/RepShared/Item"  "Test/FILE/"
