Ouch, mangling spaces seems unfortunate.  I guess fixing the devctl protocol 
is too hard, and/or we can't just encode it at the protocol layer but leave 
the actual device names untouched?  OS X preserves spaces in volume names and 
those can be quite common on ISO images, so mangling them really does seem to 
be a shame if we can avoid it.
