problem with spaces in /etc/fstab

I am mounting a Windows directory that has spaces.

This doesn't work:
//192.168.0.112/usbhd-ntfs/Pictures/Basement Slides /mnt/Slides cifs guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8  0  0

This works:
//192.168.0.112/usbhd-ntfs/Pictures/Basement\040Slides /mnt/Slides cifs guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8  0  0

Why doesn't
//192.168.0.112/usbhd-ntfs/Pictures/Basement\ Slides /mnt/Slides cifs guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8  0  0
work with a simple escape?
