Alex,

may this bug be closed now? You kept it open based on another bug report which has been closed in the mean time.

still doesn't work, see bug #11853 for an explanation of why, since it's the same root problem (presumably in either NSPath or NSUserDefaults (which probably uses NSPath).

This is not exaclty a windows backend problem as the other two bug reports #11853 and #11854 show. There the same problem is reported for gdnc and gdomap. The later being the reason for the second error message you get.

There seems to be a well know (but up to now not to GNUstep) problem with spawn on MINGW. The following pages suggest ways to escape the arguments to the spawn call:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2004-01/msg00093.html
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2003-01/msg00380.html

Not sure if any of these made it into more recent releases of MinGW.

when I try to start gpbs under mingw32, and the path has spaces in it, it simply dies immediately, saying "gpbs - spawn failed - bye." When I start it using the tilde-expanded directory path (ie no spaces), it starts fine, but then dies within a second or two, saying "gpbs[2072] Unable to register with name server."
