sed bug?

I'm using your sed utility and am having a problem with handling a list of input files.

If I include quotes around the input path (which I need if there is a space in the path), it results in an "Invalid Argument" error.

example:
sed -f x.sed "..\test files\*.txt"
sed: can't read ..\test files\*.txt: Invalid argument


my sed version information:

sed --version
