Welcome to the club.

Try encoding the space char with "%20" (e.g. 
"file/////MyServer/My%20Folder/MyFile.odp").
Not sure about this though.

Look at the recent thread on "Storing or Linking Documents".
Quoting Rob from there: "I've thrown some very experimental initial work 
on such an extension into Subversion; trunk/extensions/FileSearch"
But there might be more info in that thread.

As for the rest (partial match search, auto-backup), I don't really know 
much about those issues.

HTH.
