won't mount NFS mounts with space in the name

Binary package hint: autofs5

Using the auto.net file to mount NFS mounts on the local network.
One of the machines (a NAS) has a number of similarly named exports with spaces in the name. autonfs appears to only see the name upto the first space.
The awk script in /etc/auto.net that parses the output of showmount doesn't consider that there may be spaces in the export name.

For example, the Network Recycle Bin's
$ showmount -e korby
Export list for korby:
/Qweb
/Qusb
/Qrecordings
/Qmultimedia
/Qdownload
/Public
/Photos
/Network Recycle Bin 4
/Network Recycle Bin 3
/Network Recycle Bin 1
/Media
/Documents
/DVD_rip

Turns into

$ /etc/auto.net korby
-fstype=nfs,hard,intr,nodev,nosuid \
 /DVD_rip korby:/DVD_rip \
 /Documents korby:/Documents \
 /Media korby:/Media \
 /Network korby:/Network \
 /Network korby:/Network \
 /Network korby:/Network \
 /Photos korby:/Photos \
 /Public korby:/Public \
 /Qdownload korby:/Qdownload \
 /Qmultimedia korby:/Qmultimedia \
 /Qrecordings korby:/Qrecordings \
 /Qusb korby:/Qusb \
 /Qweb korby:/Qweb

This prevents autofs from mounting any of the korby shares as it finds a duplicate mount (let alone, the mount it thinks it's a duplicate of is invalid as well).

I will attempt to rewrite the awk to consider the spaces.

TEST CASE:
Setup a lucid NFS server with the following exports (and associated directories):

/home
"/space filename"
"/space filename2"

Note that "" is important as space is used as a de-limited in /etc/exports

showmount -e <server> from a Lucid client with autofs5 installed shows:
Export list for <server>:
/space filename2 *
/space filename *
/home *

Setup autofs5 with the following line in /etc/auto.master on the client

/net /etc/auto.net

restart autofs

cd /net/<server> fails with 'No such file or directory message'

Removing one of the exports with a space from the NFS server (and restarting autofs on the client) partially fixes the issue; however the "space filename" export is not mounted correctly and is inaccessible:
