I can use 'pts' to create groups with spaces in their names:

	eco-afs1:/afs/.@cell# pts listent -g
	Name                          ID  Owner Creator
	system:administrators       -204   -204    -204
	system:backup               -205   -204    -204
	system:anyuser              -101   -204    -204
	system:authuser             -102   -204    -204
	system:ptsviewers           -203   -204    -204
	domain users               -1001      1       1

However, 'fs' will not accept those names:

	eco-afs1:/afs/.@cell# fs sa . "domain users" read
	fs: Invalid argument, possible reasons include:
	        -File not in AFS
	        -Too many users on access control list
	        -Tried to add non-existent user to access control list

I would prefer to use the name "Domain Users" as that's the name
of the group in Active Directory.  Would it be difficult to modify
'fs' to accept objects with spaces in the name?
