Just to close the loop on this topic, I finally got this working by creating a 'directory junction' symbolic link in a folder without spaces that points to the folder path that has all the spaces in the name.? Then I have the Xymon server test my symlink instead of the real path because I could never get it to work any other way. Here's some examples.
In Windows host:
Use CMD to make 'junction' symlink to folder you want.
mklink /J C:\ProgramData\SPlogs ?C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS?
In Xymon server:
In client-local.cfg file.
?? ?dir:C:\ProgramData\SPlogs\TaskUsage
In analysis.cfg file.
?? ?DIR???? C:\ProgramData\SPlogs\TaskUsage red size<2000000 TRACK=TaskUsage

These other folders are working fine.
C:\inetpub\logs
C:\Windows\Temp
C:\Windows\Logs\CBS
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER
The only difference I see is spaces in the path.? I've put ""
around it, but that doesn't seem to fix it.
Does someone have a working example that includes spaces in the path?
Sorry, I don't have any examples to offer.
What does the directory's section in your client data message look like? And your entries in analysis.cfg and client-local.cfg?
You might be able to "match" the dirname with a regex, something like:
DIR "%^C:.Program.Files.Common.Files.microsoft.shared.Web.Server.Extensions.15.LOGS" SIZE<65000
