Did you try putting the path in \graphicspath between double braces, like

\graphicspath{{../../My Graphic Files/}}

According to its doc, \graphicspath is supposed to contain a list of directories, each within its own set of curly braces. Says grfguide.pdf:

> The format is the same as for the LATEX2ε primitive \input at path. A list of directories, each in a {} group (even if there is only one in the list). For example:
> \graphicspath{{eps/}{tiff/}}

Other than that, my suggestion would have been to include the path between double quotes "[...]". On the Mac this has been a way to include arbitrary file names for quite some time (XeTeX, OzTeX, ...), and I thought this was more-or-less a standard on any platform. But since you're using the grffile package, its doc seems to say it's not compatible with double quotes.
