Spark only handles spaces in paths in Windows command scripts since v2.0.0-rc1.

Since version 2 doesn't yet have a stable release, unless you're willing to install a preview version you will need to either rename your folders from "Box Sync" and "Data Science" to something which doesn't contain spaces or copy the changes to support spaces into your Spark source code.
