Space in the directory name

Space in the directory name
I've got a small script that deletes all the trash from mailusers Trash directory. I run this script once in a while to make some space. (We have lots of IMAP users, who keep their mail on server!) Occansionaly, the users create directories with space in the name (e.g. "My Mail"). And sometimes the users will delete the whole directory. Is there a way to grep the whole name of such occurances. Here is the script I made:
echo "Enter volume name to fetch Trash:"
read volname
cd /usr/$volname
du -k |grep Trash | sort +0nr |head -40 >/tmp/t_$volname.dat
cat /tmp/t_$volname.dat |awk '{print "rm -ef " $2 "/200*"}' >/tmp/tr$volname.del
I think the problem starts with grep. It should get the entire directory name. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

dohash
dohash(8) System Manager's Manual dohash(8) NAME
dohash, undohash - Hashes or unhashes IMAP configuration directories SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/dohash [-f] [-h] [-i] /usr/sbin/undohash OPTIONS
The following options are available only for the dohash command: Forces the hashing process to continue even if the command encounters errors. Prints a usage message for the command. Runs the hashing process interactively. DESCRIPTION
The dohash command converts the IMAP configuration directories from the format for older versions of the Cyrus IMAP4 Revision 1 server to the new format for Version 1.6.1 or higher. Starting with Version 1.6.1 of the server, the IMAP user files in the quota and user directories are stored in a through z subdirectories, sorted by the first character of each user name. This arrangement reduces the number of entries in a given directory and consequently increases performance and scalability. The dohash command creates the a through z subdirectories and sorts the existing IMAP files as described; the undohash command reverses this process, in case you need to revert to a previous version of the server. You can optionally sort the users' directories in the IMAP mail spool in the same manner if you enable the hashimapspool option in the /etc/imapd.conf file before invoking the dohash command. See imapd.conf(4) for more information. Note that you must be logged in as the imap user to use the dohash command; otherwise, the newly-created subdirectories will not have the proper ownership. EXAMPLES
The following example shows output from the dohash command: # /usr/sbin/dohash configuration directory /var/imap... hashing user directory hashing quota directory done hashing In this example, the configuration directory is /var/imap; therefore, you could check that the dohash command has successfully hashed the directories by using the ls command as follows: # ls /var/imap/quota /var/imap/user /var/imap/quota: a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z /var/imap/user: a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z The slash () indicates line continuation. FILES
Configuration file for the IMAP server. Specifies the location of the IMAP configuration directory. SEE ALSO
