'bkfiles="directory1 directory2 \"My Documents\" directory4"'
'echo $bkfiles'
directory1 directory2 "My Documents" directory4

Although this works when I plug this into smbclient as follows -

smbclient //$user/c$ password -U username -Tc - $bkfiles | gzip > $opfile

smbclient correctly backs up directory1, directory2 and directory4 but also
attempts to back up the two directories "My and Documents".

If I type the following -

smbclient //$user/c$ password -U username -Tc - directory1 directory2 "My
Documents" directory4 | gzip > $opfile

all four directories (including My Documents) is backed up. Can anyone help.

Many thanks.
