I doubt this is due to whitespaces. At the moment, Unison requires a
path to correspond to a location in an existing directory.  So, if you
want to synchronize the path
    "/home/unison/Documents and Settings/user/Desktop/batches",
the directory
    "/home/unison/Documents and Settings/user/Desktop"
must exist.
