      Specially on Windows:

      When specifying a file to import with --file with a space (without double quotes), 

      > mongoimport -d db -c coll --file D:\Parsely data\articles_split.json

      mongoimport will *not* display:

      Mon Oct  8 10:03:02 ERROR: file doesn't exist: filename.

      But

      ERROR: multiple occurrences

Import CSV, TSV or JSON data into MongoDB.

options:
...

      This is misleading because it seems it refers to multiple document occurrences.

      Same error occurs on Mac:

      > mongoimport -d test -c test --file test space.json
ERROR: multiple occurrences
