Just FYI, here is how Linux handles this (from fstab(5)):

 The second field, (fs_file), describes the mount point for the filesys-
 tem.  For swap partitions, this field should be specified as `none'. If
 the  name  of  the  mount point contains spaces these can be escaped as
 `\040'.

It might be a good idea to use this method rather than inventing a new
one.
