Research direction

Inspect the code that creates rsyncers and compare its source and destination path handling for the example Supervisor_abc biX. Start by tracing where the destination is normalized to metadata_Supervisor_abc_biX; done means the rsyncer uses that same normalized destination and the spaced-source case is covered by an appropriate test.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The rsyncers are not made correctly for sources with spaces.

A source was provided of Supervisor_abc biX

This made an rsyncer from Supervisor_abc biX to metadata_Supervisor_abc biX

But the destination was made as metadata_Supervisor_abc_biX

-> The destination creation correctly substitutes the space for an underscore but the rsyncer is set up wrong
