Does your own post not suggest a solution?  Hint: avoid white space in
path names.

In general, spaces in path names are troublesome.  Why do you need them?
Even if you insist on putting stuff under `Program Files', or `My
Documents', (neither of which is to be recommended, BTW), you can use
relative paths in VPATH or vpath, to circumvent the issue.
