[rrd-users] Can't have spaces in Title

Oh and I was just reminded of a seemingly simple problem I've been
having - I can't put spaces in my titles.   Neither with single nor
double quotes around the string, nor with putting \ before the spaces.
   The examples I see all use double quotes so I have no idea what I'm
doing wrong.
