/bin/sh help needed

[david at thekramers.net (David Kramer)]

I have a string in a /bin/sh script.  In that script I have a variable 
with a space-separates list of file widcards, like:
	paths="/etc/r* /var/adm/* /home/dkramer/e*"

I have another script that I want to call from this one, passing these 
wildcards as separate arguments, like:
	dfcheck -s 10 ${paths}

Every combination of single quotes, double quotes, and escaping seems to 
either send it all as one argument, or send it all as separate arguments, 
but each argument is quoted.  The only solution I found, which works but 
is "unsatisfying", is 
	echo "$paths" | xargs dfcheck -s 10

Any ideas?
