Too many blanks.  The OP reports that the error does not occur if he
changes one blank to an underscore.

I deem this the malign progeny of TRT.  The designer knew (correctly)
that every command ends with a blank so reasoned (fallaciously) that
any blank ends a command.  (Aristotle knew better.)  And believed
that using a TRT to find the first blank would avoid the expense of a
left-to-right lexical parse.  It doesn't; it actually adds the cost of the TRT.
