Not sure it is the whitespace:

aklaver at tito:~> borg_new  create --dry-run -v --stats borg_test::test_run 'home/aklaver/test space/'
home/aklaver/test space: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'home/aklaver/test space'

aklaver at tito:~> borg_new  create --dry-run -v --stats borg_test::test_run '/home/aklaver/test space/'
