Jeremy's idea to put the command in a shell script and call that is 
probably the most foolproof solution, but I was thinking that it might 
work if you used "\ " instead of just spaces.  It would certainly be 
easier to sed through when changes are needed.  And it would allow you 
to change options more easily on a user by user basis, instead of 
writing a script for each different set of options.
