Allowing square brackets in %eng

Hi

I have a query about how depfile.cut handles square brackets.

In a few cases we have things like:
la casa de xxx
which we're translating on the %eng tier as:
[...]'s house

However, CHECK doesn't like this:
====
Illegal use of delimiter in a word.
Or a SPACE should be added after it.
====

The current %eng line is:
%eng:	* [*] "* +... +/. +!? +//. +/? +"/. +". +" +^ +< +, ++ +//? +..? #
I'm assuming that [*] means "any character surrounded by square brackets", and 
that the real problem is (as the second line of the error says) that there is 
no space between [...] and 's in "[...]'s house".

Is there any way to allow an optional space on either side of the brackets?  I 
tried:
*[*]*
but that just gave me a different error:
====
Symbol is not declared in the depfile(s).
====

Thanks.
