Does exactly what I needed when calling it with unquoted but properly escaped argument like:
./script /path/to/filenames\ with\ spaces* /other/path\ with\ spaces/to\ other\ filenames\ with\ spaces*
It doesn't work with quoted command-line parameters with wildcards in them but that's OK to me. I will have to experiment a bit more with that and put $@ in my mental toolbox.
Thank you kindly, Paul and Robert!

Try "$@" instead of $*
