I renamed a datastore to remove the space so we can test.  What is the proper way to uninstall/reinstall to the new path?

No special reason for the use of spaces, it is just our naming convention.  It complies with Vmware best practice on datastore naming.   The only forbidden characters in datastore name are /,\,[ ], and %.

So if all of my hosts have datastores with spaces in the name, and all of my VMs reside in those datastores, I will not be able to install the product or backup my vms?

I have downloaded and installed XSI-PRO including installing the license. 

When I try to execute xsibackup, I recieve the following error:

BusyBox v1.22.1 (2016-03-26 07:03:26 PDT) multi-call binary.

Usage: dirname FILENAME

Strip non-directory suffix from FILENAME

/vmfs/volumes/HP Local/xsi-dir/src/pro/menu/main: .: line 70: can't open '/common'

I went back through the README and double-checked all of the permissions.  Any ideas?
