I have a similar problem which Sid Wong from IBM techsupt has been
helping me with. I am also running on WindowsNT.
When attempting to do a dsmc Q backup command from our ADSM server for a
client that has a space in the volume label, using the following
command, I get a message that no files have been backed up. The same
command works for drives that have no spaces in their label, and from
the client, where I can specify the drive, and don't need to include the
filespace name.

Command used:
 dsmc> q backup -fromnode=cs02 "{Platinum Data}\adsm\baclient\*.log"
 ANS4087E No files have previously been backed up for
'\ADSM\BACLIENT\*.LOG'
