Spaces in Build Forge adaptor run command parameter

Hi,
I'm trying to pass a parameter that has a space in it in a Build Forge adaptor run command:
<run command="cc_describe" params="$VIEW $1 $2" server="$SERVER" dir="/" timeout="360"/>
The parameter $1 occasionally contains a path name that contains a space. Since a space is used to separate parameters, this results in the parameter to be cut up into multple pieces. I tried to fix it by adding double quotes:
<run command="cc_describe" params="$VIEW "$1" $2" server="$SERVER" dir="/" timeout="360"/>
This works as far as the adaptor is concerned, however, the double quotes mess up the ClearCase describe command.
How can I use a parameter that contains spaces in an adaptor run command without the adaptor treating it as multiple parameters and without using double quotes??
Thanks,
Jozef
