I tested it on Terminal (not Emacs), and it seems that SyncTeX produces
quotes (intended or not). For example,
pdflatex -synctex=1 filename\ with\ spaces.tex
produces
"filename with spaces".synctex.gz (NOT filename with spaces.synctex.gz)
(Note that inside this .synctex.gz file there's no quotes around the file names.
I mean, it behaves a bit differently from PDFSync.)
If you manually rename the .synctex.gz file to remove the quotes,
Emacs <-> Skim works correctly.
Carbon Emacs handles spaces in file names properly
(maybe some very old codes still exist who don't work in very rare cases).
