st: Saving CSV (on Mac) errors with spaces in file name

I tried this:
. use "/Users/myuserid/Documents/Stats/foo/Foo Top 25 Length.dta"
. export delimited using "/Users/myuserid/Documents/Stats/foo/Top 25 Length.csv", replace
invalid '25'
stata(): 3598 Stata returned error
export_delim_write_file(): - function returned error
export_delim_export_file(): - function returned error
<istmt>: - function returned error
r(3598);
If I remove the spaces from the "Top 25 Length.csv", it works. Obviously there's no overall problem with spaces in file names, since the use uses a similar file name. But in the handoff to Java (I'm guessing the export is done in Java), something bad happens.
