All file references in XML/XSL must be URIs. Spaces are invalid in
URIs, so you either need to escape them as %20 or avoid using them.

In any case, spaces in directory names and filenames are pure evil.
They make your teeth rot and your hair fall out, cause nuclear war
and planet-wide social upheaval, and make the beer taste funny.
