Dreamweaver, OS X 10.4, Local folder doesn't exist?

Question

Since getting my brand new MacBook from Amazon a few days
ago, I've been struggling with getting DW (7 and 8) to work with
local folders.
After I Define Sites and enter the info for my local copies
of the site's files, I connect to the server. The Remote view shows
the files on the server, but when I switch back to the Local view,
it says the folder where my files are, doesn't exist.
I can interact fine with the Local files (create, rename)
until I connect to the Remote computer. After I do connect, when I
go back to the Local view, it says the Local folder doesn't exist.
Sometimes when updating the Site it sometimes says "Can't
create local folder" so Im guessing DW isn't able to hold onto the
fact that the Local folder is there somehow.
I've repaired permissions, verified the disk, made sure the
most recent patches are applied on DW (7.01 and 8.02), deleted the
DW prefs for both versions. I've even created a new user on my Mac
and created the new site folder from scratch, but this problem is
happening with all user accounts on this Mac.
Everything was working fine on the old PowerBook before I
used the Migration Utility to automatically bring things over.
Desperately in need of help!

I think that WAS it. Holy Weekend Waster Batman! I spent the
last few days of my life on debugging because of that space
character.
I had found a workaround in that I could use a disk image
that I created on my Mac. That, I guess, worked because of the
filename.
I had thought it was some Permissions thing since the disk
image had totally open permissions. But it seems the space
character was the reason.
Thanks!!!!!
