 When using the GPS Tools plugin to download a gpx file from a GPS
 instrument, the plugin fails when there are spaces in the Output File path
 or file name.
 On the other hand, '''gpsbabel does work''' with spaces in the path when
 the output file path is quoted. For example running:
 {{{
 "C:\Program Files\Quantum GIS\bin\gpsbabel.exe" -w -i garmin -f USB: -o
 gpx -F "C:\Documents and Settings\micha\My Documents\waypoints.gpx"
 }}}
 works properly.
 However entering the '''same above output file''' (with or without quotes)
 in GPS Tools fails with the error "The layer is not a valid layer..."
