'/Volumes/High Usage' is a "new" external drive as I put in a SSD as the main drive. Rather than re-do all my configs,
Icreated a symbolic link from /usr/local/src/pg_buildfarm... to the external disk.

I'd be happy to do that on my iMac, which isn't a build farm member yet, although I had plans to add it. I can easily
doa single tester with spaces in the path, or multiple testers with and without spaces.
I'll work on the build farm config setup at least for the space scenario.
