I agree.  The non-single word sensor group names is quite annoying. 
When you run a sensors command remotely (i.e. with rsh), you also have
to also escape the quote characters.

thunderi|/home/achu 52>rsh ethunder208 /usr/sbin/sensors -g "power supply"
sensors: error: Invalid sensor group [power]

thunderi|/home/achu 53>rsh ethunder208 /usr/sbin/sensors -g \"power supply\"
68: Pwr Supply 1 (Power Supply): [OK]
<SNIP - etc. happy output>
