Maybe a bit late (original poster's problem has already been fixed) but 
I wanted to reply to this false information (at least for 5.0.x, not 
sure about earlier versions).

Quote from the 5.0.3 manual (section 16.2.2: Upper and lower case and 
spaces):

    /Case (upper/lower) and spaces are totally ignored in the resource
    directive keywords (the part before the equal sign).

    Within the keyword (i.e. before the equal sign), spaces are not
    significant. Thus the keywords: name, Name, and N a m e are all
    identical.

    Spaces after the equal sign and before the first character of the
    value are ignored.

    In general, spaces within a value are significant (not ignored), and
    if the value is a name, you must enclose the name in double quotes
    for the spaces to be accepted. Names may contain up to 127
    characters. Currently, a name may contain any ASCII character.
    Within a quoted string, any character following a backslash (\) is
    taken as itself (handy for inserting backslashes and double quotes (")).

    Please note, however, that Bacula resource names as well as certain
    other names (e.g. Volume names) must contain only letters (including
    ISO accented letters), numbers, and a few special characters (space,
    underscore, ...). All other characters and punctuation are invalid./

So it shouldn't matter if there are any spaces in the directive names. 
I've verified this in the past as my predecessor used a wide mix of 
capitalized/non-capitalized names, names with spaces and without, lines 
ended by semicolons and lines without, etc.
