[collectd] Unable to use Collectd::Unixsock.pm correctly (might be due to FQDN)??

[Blatt, Andrew (A&E)]

Thanks Florian, you were right, I had an older version which I thought I had updated..

Now atleast cussh.pl is working properly!

there is a problem with collectd 4.4 and earlier: Identifiers with
spaces are not handled correctly because `strtok' is used to split up
the command line.

collectd 4.5 and later uses quotes to make identifiers with spaces
possible. Collectd::Unixsock has been changed to make use of this, too.

From your example it looks like you mixed the two: A new version of
Collectd::Unixsock and a pre-4.5 version of collectd (note the
trailing `"').

If you did not mix those versions yourself, please let us know so we can
try to improve the situation :)
