Your *not* using Emacs, Massimiliano!

I can do in GNU Emacs 22.0.50:

It works in Terminal, too ...

In Emacs I was typing the \, in Terminal it was tcsh. I tried it then  
in an interactive bash login shell and with file name expanded by  
bash it worked again, on another example file.

I cannot imagine that it's the BETA LaTeX package that makes the  
difference since I am sure I could tex files with space in the name  
already last year ...

In Emacs you could type C-x C-u = on the spaces to check what they  
really are. What are 'file `which pdflatex`' and 'file `which  
pdfetex`' returning? Are the files in the current working directory?  
Can you list them and do an additional 'ls -ldo .'?
