Yeah, the space looks as very possible reason. In general, I would highly
recommend to avoid spaces and special characters (also any national alphabet
chars) in file and dir names. Even if everybody says "it should work",
following that rule can help you to avoid many sorts of trouble.

Does your CVSMailer experience the trouble also for any directory or files
that have "normal" names ("normal" means that comply with the thumb rule
above) ?
