> The last time I looked, all Apple computers Hard Disk (and SSD) names were “Macintosh HD”: a space exists in the Volume name !

Because when the User folder is on the Boot Drive the Volume Name is irrelevant.

> /Users/rowlands/Library/Caches

Apple’s submission tool accesses the Users folder, and chokes if the user folder path contains a space in it.
