AFP distribution point mount fails with whitespace in name after upgrade to 9.01

We just upgraded our server from 8.72 to 9.01 and the AFP distribution point ("Casper Share") is no longer mounted correctly when running Casper Admin. We guessed that the whitespace was causing the problem and discovered two solutions to this problem:

1) Switch it to mount as SMB. Samba seems to handle spaces without a problem.

2) Rename the share to "CasperShare". We confirmed that the whitespace is causing the issue by testing it with a couple different names.

Hope this information is useful and that the bug is fixed in the next version.

This is still an issue in Casper 9.1
But I can confirm that either switching to SMB or renaming the share fixes the issue.
