Actually, it can tell, because it looks like a source file name.
However, this was broken in a recent version when I took a patch to

distcc probably can't handle

  distcc "MY 1st C Source File.txt" -c 

even though perhaps gcc can, but this definitely fits into the class
of getting what you deserve.

Yes, I agree.
