v.out.ogr removed export directory when dsn= is incorrectly specified.

[cgsbob]

I can't believe I specified a dsn without escaping the space character. So, when I saw the error below, I figured that the dsn caused this problem. So, I tested my theory by setting the dsn to /tmp/hydro.shp without any errors. When I went to see if any files were written in "/media/STORE N GO/Sac", I discovered that this directory was gone!

Export vector to /tmp works fine
