As Ugo pointed out, the preferred method is to call 
AxisScale.setTitle() to change the displayed Axis Title.
However, setScalarName calls AxisScale.setTitle() so
the effect should be the same.  I've attached a test
program that shows how to work with the AxisScale methods.
If I modify the AxisScale.setTitle() line to instead
call ScalarMap.setScalarName(), I have no problem changing
the title to one with spaces, so either method should work.
Could you send along your code or some snippet so I can test
what the problem is?
