This is just pure luck :)
I found using is equivalent of space character.

There is a space between Testing and Volume, how do I escape the
space character?
"afp://user:pass@server/Testing\ Volume"
The backslash is the usual escape character in UNIX-like stuff. But
in a shell the enclosing quotes would have done the same thing.
Note that AppleScript also uses the \ character so you MAY need:
"afp://user:pass@server/Testing\\ Volume"
Depending on which application is processing the open location
command.
I don't know if you can use "quoted form of" when the target is not
a local file but it would be more portable if it works and it would
handle the \\ thing if you need it..
And watch for gremlins!
If that afp volume is on a Mac OS 8 or less volume - AND - you're
running Tiger it will not work.

Applescript syntax is like English spelling:
