I don't want to sound like a "Shell rules, AppleScript drools" type,
which I'm not, but it seems to me that a find(1) command might be a
better way to handle this situation.

For example,

                       find /starting/path -type d -name '* *' -print

will find all folders whose name contains a space.

What constitutes a legal vs illegal filename according to your conventions?
