Bug Description

On ubuntu 7.04 running gparted 0.2.5.
I have a ntfs partition mounted on
/dev/sda1 /media/Shane's Brain
When attempting to unmount partition I get message:
Could not unmount /dev/sda1
Text ended before matching quote was found for ". (The text was 'sh -c 'umount -v "/media/Shane's Brain"'')
I suspect this is just a quoting issue.
Steps to reporduce (should be obvious):
1. mount a partition somewhere where the mountpoint has an apostraphe.
2. fire up gparted and attempt to unmount said partition
