pg_ctl problem

(sorry for the double post if there is one - i sent the mail to the 
lisyt from the wrong address)

Hi,

Im passing this in the commmand line to start up the PostgreSQL server:

./pg_ctl start -w -D /Volumes/GROUCH\ 2/Database3

 but its always giving me this error:

./postmaster: invalid argument: "2/Database3"

so i tried passing this: ( added quotes to the problematic database 
path )

./pg_ctl start -w -D "/Volumes/GROUCH\ 2/Database3"

and i still get the same error.

Can i not pass a path with spaces in it?
How should i pass this command to the command line in order to get the 
server up and running?

thanks!

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
   (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@postgresql.org)
