[K12OSN] Script Error with file names that have spaces

[Dennis Daniels]

Jim,
I'd like to post this script to a couple of wikis,
http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Shell_scripts
and to my own... I'm trying to flesh out scripts for teacher/sys-admins
http://dennisgdaniels.com/tiki-index.php?page=Teacher+Sys+Admin
and here:
http://www.k12ltsp.org/phpwiki/index.php/HomePage

I checked for a ltsp wiki and found this one:
http://www.openbrick.org/wiki/ltsp/FrontPage
but no wiki for ltsp.

What do you think, is it okay by you?
Dennis
