Rsync with spaces in source or destination path

[paresh masani]

Please note that double quates is working but I want to make it work with
"\\\".

For example, ==> /usr/local/bin/rsync --archive "/u/masanip/ACH/test file"
/tmp/mydir/ <== is working but  ==> /usr/local/bin/rsync --archive
/u/masanip/ACH/test\\\ file /tmp/mydir/ <== not.

Thanks.
