Problems using webdavclient with Sharepoint

I'm trying to use the slide command-line client with Windows Sharepoint
Services.  It connects to the server ok, and I can browse directories so
long as they don't contain any spaces in the name.  When I try to change
directories to a directory that has a space in its name (using quotes),
I get:
 
"Warning:  Not found the path"
 
This is a different message than when I try to CD to a non-existent
directory.  That message is:
 
"Warning:  null"
 
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

They don't. It's a very simple bug (not present in earlier Sharepoint 
versions, btw).

Thanks for the quick response Julian.

Do you by any chance know how Microsoft handles URI escaping of spaces?

Yes, one of many RFC2518 compliance issues in Sharepoint (in this case: 
it doesn't obey RFC2396's rules for URI escaping).
