Restoring files with smbtar

Hi,

Can someone let me know what is the syntax for restoring files with
win95 style filenames (i.e. filenames containing spaces) from a backup
made with smbtar.

I use the syntax as follows for normal 8.3 filenames.

smbtar -r -v -s mars -x fdrive -t /dev/rStp0 -u username -p password
./wtksrv.ini

I have tried enclosing the filename in quotes but this did not seem to
work.

Any help would be appreciated.
