Exploded RAR deployment fails when JBOSS_HOME has a space in it

It appears that if JBOSS_HOME contains a space (e.g. jboss 4.0.1sp1), deployment of an exploded rar file fails while parsing the ra.xml file. If this same rar is not exploded the error does not occur. The following is the stack trace from the console output...
