Thank you.  That seems to have fixed some of the cases.  The one where it 
adds the path is still a bit problematic.

It seems like a good idea to post the bug to the xerces-j mailing list, so 
I am off to do that.  (The bug where, if it adds a path, it adds one 
without escaping the spaces.)  I have done a bit of testing, and have not 
been able to get that margin case to work.

In the meantime, test in a non-spaced directory.
