what's in now:

1        foo
2        {
3                Path = /foo/bar/foobar
4                ExcludeDir = /foo/bar/foobar/fobz/"TWO words"
5        }


what i have tried before:

...
4		ExcludeDir = /foo/bar/foobar/fobz/'TWO words'
...

as well as:

...
4		ExcludeDir = /foo/bar/foobar/fobz/TWO\ words
...

and variations thereof, like:

...
4		ExcludeDir = /foo/bar/foobar/fobz/"TWO\ words"
...

etc.
