I think you are right: It works better without the
shell-quote-argument. Please excuse that mistake --- I told you I'm
far from a lisp guru!
Always trying to avoid such things like spaces in filenames I don't
need this very often. I think I had a case where it worked with the
shell-quote-argument but I can't remember what it was.
Best regards
