    A random guess might be to try: //user@server/Driver%20C
    %20 refers to the ascii character with hex value 20 which is space.
    It's what webservers use for getting around spaces, samba might too.`
    I'd be really curious to see if this works.

I sense much NT in you.
NT leads to Bluescreen.
Bluescreen leads to downtime.
Downtime leads to suffering.
NT is the path to the darkside.
Powerful Unix is.
