Repair Exchange Priv1/Pub1.edb

I am trying to repair my Exchange database store. Knowledge base from Microsoft (artical 317014) give Eseutil Command Line Switches. I try to use them but keep getting error below. Where am I going wrong?

The spaces in the filespec are the problem. Try enclosing the filespec in quotes.

    eseutil /p "D:\Mail EX\MDBDDATA\priv1.edb" /i

You could also try the "short name" version, eg ...

    eseutil /p D:\MAILEX~1\MDBDDATA\priv1.edb /i
