Follow-up to https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/3242.

PR https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/3242 fixes some instances of unquoted $mountpoint expansion, but some remain:

I suppose that this might be a problem either if the URL contains a path with glob or whitespace characters, or if the temporary mountpoint path name contains such characters (which could happen when TMPDIR contains them), depending on usage.
