[I don't check this list for libguestfs questions, hence the late reply.

You could try prepending 'win:...' (a guestfish-specific hack for Windows) in front of the path, as described in the manual: http://libguestfs.org/guestfish.1.html#windows-paths For example: ><fs> ls "/program files/windows nt/accessories" libguestfs: error: ls0: opendir: /program files/windows nt/accessories: No such file or directory ><fs> ls "win:/program files/windows nt/accessories" mswrd6.wpc mswrd8.wpc wordpad.exe write.wpc ><fs> set-trace true ><fs> ls "win:/program files/windows nt/accessories" libguestfs: trace: case_sensitive_path "/program files/windows nt/accessories" libguestfs: trace: case_sensitive_path = "/Program Files/Windows NT/Accessories" libguestfs: trace: ls "/Program Files/Windows NT/Accessories" libguestfs: trace: ls0 "/Program Files/Windows NT/Accessories" "/tmp/libguestfse0H7nF/ls10" libguestfs: trace: ls0 = 0 libguestfs: trace: ls = ["mswrd6.wpc", "mswrd8.wpc", "wordpad.exe", "write.wpc"] mswrd6.wpc mswrd8.wpc wordpad.exe write.wpc (notice the extra call to case_sensitive_path in the trace).
