I wonder how you quote filenames from the monitor.
In my own management scripts I've taken to making a symlink with a
"safe" name to the real image file, and passing the safe name to KVM,
so that it's unambiguous. Causes a bit of fun with qcow2 files, which
refer to their backing files relative to the symlink not the target
file.
