Hi,
  I haven't seen this recently, but we've certainly had this sort of problem
before in the test versions. Which version of VMD were you running?
We had thought that these problems were fixed in b11, so if you're running
b11 that's very important to know.

Thanks,
  John Stone

It looks like the plugins just parse the path until they reach a whitespace, as they will typically output something like "File not found: C:\Program". I've also have "access denied" errors and such.
