It's the spaces.  oggenc (and damn near every other program that parses a command 
line) will see "Than" as a separate option and freak out.

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much you can do if the pathname you're 
saving into has spaces in it.  On my system, EAC refuses to properly enclose the 
filenames (%s & %d) in quotes, even when I force it to do so in the encoder 
options.  This makes it really difficult to have EAC do any sort of non-trivial 
encoding, tagging, or directory structure (and I don't think that 
"Artist\Album\## - Title.ogg" is particularly non-trivial :-).  I just make EAC 
rip to a .wav and I have a command script that does my encoding, tagging, and 
replaygain-ing for me.

These, however, are my compression options:
-q 4.00 -a "%a" -l "%g" -N "%n" -t "%t" -o "%d" "%s"
