I'm guessing it may be a case sensitivity problem.  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).

In "/Program Files" it works fine for me, too. I still can't access
"/Users/Owner/My Documents"

Aha!! I found the problem. In Windows 7, "My Documents" is a link
to "Documents".  Apparently guestfish can't follow links.  I can
list "/Users/Owner/Documents" just fine. The space was a red
herring -- I can list "/Users/Owner/Saved Games" just fine, too.

Thanks for the response. It got me looking at what was different
between the directories that worked and those that didn't.
