That's because bibtex itself cannot handle spaces in paths. I thought we fixed 
this problem for the original LyX on WIndows release (1.3.6) by copying the 
bibtex database to the temp file? Ahhhh, I see we do that, but the problem 
lies with the style file...

Seems that someone isn't testing their "clever" fixes...
