OMG you're a genius. Thanks. I mis-read your you don't need to escape the spaces as relating to the [curly] braces, not the backslash in the variable setting.

@user3.1415927 You are still escaping the spaces. You don't need to. This is the actual error. The / at the end of directory paths is not an actual error, only unnecessary.
