Correct usage of replaceOccurencesOfString:withString:options:range

Could someone please illustrate the correct usage of this method from NSMutableString?  I have a string that represents a path to a file on the filesystem.  If there are any spaces in the path (such as a folder name), I need to escape those spaces with a "\" so I can use them as an argument to an NSTask running a command-line tool.

It shows that it returns an unsigned int, so I've tried this:

unsigned int i;
NSString* str = @"My Documents/Documents/James Stuff/";
i = [replaceOccurencesOfString:@" " withString"@"\ " options:nil range:NSMakeRange([0, str length])];

But that doesn't work.  It gives me two errors of "unknown escape sequence: '\040'.

It shouldn't be that hard to replace all occurences of a space with an backslash and a space, should it?

James
