It'll work fine as space separate variables, but won't make a whole lot 
of sense, since they are lists - you'd need to try to match up 3 lists 
of space separated arrays with no terminator, rather than 1 list of 
comma separated variables.

Note that prior to 2.5.01 the only possible parameter to loginfo was 
%{sVv} anyway..

You also need to handle spaces in filenames (escaped with '\').  There 
are examples of this floating around (may even be some on the wiki).
