sy does not allow spaces in the directory path

[KevanV]

sy.bat does not allow spaces in the directory path, then tries to execute the rest of the path name as a batch file. I hope it doesn't allow remote code execution.

The error I see on the screen without debugging is 'and' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Operating system:
Windows XP (yeah I know but the laptop is locked down)

I switched debugging on and this is one of many errors: I think the issue occurs with the two ""

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Sync\V1>if not exist ""C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Syncany"" mkdir ""C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Syncany"" 'and' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.
