Error with paths with ()'s

Remember that when you rsync to 10.0.0.11:/Drive5/{} rsync is going to
run: 'ssh 10.0.0.11 rsync --server /Drive5/whatever file name(s) were
in {}'

You should see the problem now.  Even if the spaces and parentheses
are quoted or escaped the ssh adds more levels of shell so they
would need more escapes.
