_______________________________________________________
Details:
FindUtils 4.2.20 on Mac OS X, although a brief look at the source for 4.2.33
suggests that it shares this behavior.
Because the --prunepaths switch takes a space-separated list of directories
as its argument, there's no way to include a directory whose name contains
whitespace as part of this argument. The script interprets it as two separate
directories. Trying to escape the spaces with backslashes or quotes doesn't
work; the escape characters get interpreted as part of the directory name as
well.
