Error in ACLIC command-line parsing

The command: "root -n -b -q -l
/Users/tjrob/g4beamline-1.16-Darwin-g++/bin/G4blMovie.C++"
Gives the error "Warning in <TApplication::GetOptions>: macro
/Users/tjrob/g4beamline-1.16-Darwin-g not found".

Clearly the parsing is incorrect, and any path with a directory name including ++ will not work. Replacing the final ++ with a single + did not change this.

Note, however that this command works: "root -n -l
/Users/tjrob/g4beamline-1.16-Darwin-g++/gui/HistoRoot.C"

Note that Geant4 system identifiers all end with "g++", and I pretty much must use them as part of the directory name. As a workaround, I am copying the macro to /tmp and loading it from there.

This is root 5.20 on Mac OS X.
