I would be happy to improve the support for XeTeX in grffile. However, I do not know any other driver than pdfTeX (or LuaTeX) that provide a safe file existence check. In case of pdfTeX package grffile uses \pdffilesize, the file name argument is <general text> as \pdfximage uses. Some TeX ports support double quotes, but * a simple reliable test is missing whether this feature is supported, * a specification of the quoting rules is missing, * it makes the problem worse, now also quotes can't be used in file names, although most file systems and OPs allow them. * ... > But my advice is: Avoid spaces.
