Or even simpler, cd to the DOS variant of the filename, try for instance:

cd /home/steve/MYDOCU~1/bglibs

(you need to check what the actual DOS path equivalent is on your system)

This has worked quite well for me so far (and I changed my $HOME to not  
contain spaces, but use the DOS name, too).
