Gotcha with htpasswd

I've been trying to get a users password updated for TRAC and SVN on out development server but not matter how much I tried I couldn't get it to work. After a IM chat with the cfMaster (Stephen Moretti) he enlighten me. The problem was that i was trying this

htpasswd C:\Source Control\conf\svntrac.pswd userName

One of the things htpasswd doesn't like is spaces - so by simply adding "quotes" to the path name it all worked okay. The final command was:

htpasswd -b "C:\Source Control\conf\svntrac.pswd" userName passWord

Thanks cfMaster ;)

What (if any) gotchas have you found?
