A handle is what windows calls a file unit.  So wine doesn't like the
pathname it received.

I suspect your backshashed spaces are getting read correctly by the
shell, but when they get to wine, they are no longer escaped, so wine
sees the spaces instead of the quoted string.  Try quoting the pathname
as was done in the OP's posting.  I suspect the shell won't remove the
quotes in that case so wine will receive the quoted string.
