After moving the content to Desktop I was able to perform pg_basebackup. Ok just took a quick look at pg_basebackup.c file it appears that it recreates all directories including those being set as location for tablespace files (referred by the folder in pg_tblspc folder in your data directory) I would try pointing the bakup to another drive so pg_basebakup will be able to create all needed folders without a problem of them already existing.
