Don't mess with verbatim stuff in commands. Don't ask why, just don't do it ;-)
use buffers instead
has to do with tex collapsing spaces into one, lineendings being spaces, active characters etc
And: TeX != C. Don't write C-like TeX-braces:
{ \this { \that {
This will give you a hard time looking for unwanted spaces.
