Question 1: the only "odd" character is a space, not other "funny"  
characters, like ß, é, ƒ, or ™
Question 2: (this should not be an issue, but just in case): is the "  
turned into an active character (the babel package for various  
languages does this, Dutch, German, …).
Question 3: Have you tried \include{"folder1 with space/folder2 with  
space/latex file with space"}
