Are you _sure_?  It works in every case for me so long as the path is 
right.  Are you sure you're not _both_ escaping spaces _and_ 
enclosing in quotes.  You can do one or the other but not both, and 
since you don't tell us what your correct path is, it's impossible to 
say what's wrong.


do shell scriptÂ
    "cd; hdiutil attach -readonly 'Downloads_060101/Eudora 6.2.3.dmg'"

OR

do shell script Â
    "cd; hdiutil attach -readonly Downloads_060101/Eudora\\ 6.2.3.dmg"
