This is an on-again-off-again kind of problem. It usually hits me when
it is least convenient, like when I only have shell access to the
machine. Example:
[alan@agena ~]$ cd /media/My\ Book/
bash: cd: /media/My: No such file or directory
[alan@agena ~]$ cd "/media/My Book/"
bash: cd: /media/My: No such file or directory
[alan@agena ~]$ Gaaah!
bash: Gaaah!: command not found
What's up with that? Usually it is no trouble, but occasionally, bash
refuses to deal with spaces. I don't even know what to do in this
case.

Put the space or the whole path in quotes? This works for me.
cd /media/My" "Book/
cd "media/My Book/"
