Jim:

Did you try:

 jar cfM "$2" $1

There are behavioral differences between single- and double-quote 
marks. I don't know if that will work, but it's the first thing that 
came to mind. If you try to imagine what the jar command would 
expand to once the parameter substitution happens, maybe it'll make 
sense.

In your example, I wouldn't be surprised if you're getting:

 jar cfM /ftp/Path Name/File_Name.txt.zip /tmp

And that looks like three parms to me. They seem to match your 
description of the behavior.
