The combination of -print0 option with the find command and -0 with
the xargs command are recommended for avoiding troubles with pathnames
containing space characters.  Also, using single or double quotes for
quoting pathnames containing space characters can be more readable than
using backslashes, with (IMO) less risk of dangerously misbehaving typos.
Using your example, compare:

    /Volumes/composing/\ \ \ Running\ Ads/

with:

   '/Volumes/composing/   Running Ads/'

However, an advantage of the backslashes is being able to easily count
the space characters by eye.
