Refind 10.3 won't parse any spaces within quotes in the refind.conf file. I can't tell if it's not recognizing the quotes or just not parsing spaces. For example, specifying "Recovery HD" for the dont_scan_vols function doesn't work. Refind only sees 'Recovery' not 'Recovery HD'. This also happens in other places in the refind.conf file, such as specifying the menuentry in boot stanzas. I am currently using refind 10.3 on an imac.

After experimenting further, it appears that this is a symptom of Apple's text editor. When editing refind.conf under Linux in the scratch editor, refind works as expected.
