Actaully I think this is a server bug, the current I-D which documents 
MDTM does explain explicitly how to handle spaces in path names:

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ftpext-mlst-16.txt 

[section 2.2 paragraph 3]

   Unless otherwise specified, the pathname is terminated by the CRLF
   that terminates the FTP command, or by the CRLF that ends a reply.
   Any trailing spaces preceding that CRLF form part of the name.
   Exactly one space will precede the pathname and serve as a separator
   from the preceding syntax element.  Any additional spaces form part
   of the pathname.  See [7] for a fuller explanation of the character
   encoding issues.  All implementations supporting MLST MUST support
   [7].
