  I'm going to take a guess that you're having a problem with
file paths containing spaces, but it's really going to be hard
for me to tell since I don't have MLwiN installed.  I would suggest:
(1) contacting the package maintainer and (2) if you have the
expertise, trying the usual R debugging tricks [?traceback,
?browser, options(error=recover)] to see where the problem is.
