CliffC reports that the iTunes playlist syntax for KidsPlay is
Code:
--------------------
playlist play "itunesplaylist:PlaylistNameInEscapeFormat"
--------------------
so you might give that a try.

Be sure you're not over-encoding. For instance, at a telnet/CLI prompt
you might have to do something like
00:04:20:11:22:33 playlist play my%20new%20list
using standard URI "%" byte escaping, but in KidsPlay that would be
simply
playlist play "my new list"
