  FreeRADIUS does not add spaces to user names.  Again, run it in
debugging mode to see *exactly* what it is seeing.

  Then run the server in debugging mode to see WHY "test-user " is being
treated the same as "test-user".  The user names are NOT the same, and
should NOT be treated identically.

  Once you fix the authentication so that users with spaces are not
authenticated, the accounting should fix itself.

  In 2.0.0, you can simply put this at the *start* of the "authorize"
section:

 	if ("%{User-Name}" =~ / /) {
		reject
	}

  It won't fix the problem, but it will ensure that the users get rejected.
