Quite irrelevant if things work on Linux or not if the topic is Windows. :*)

Besides, I am very sure you will not have a directory containing a
whitespace (ASCII char 0x20) because this is not possible with ext2 or ext3
filesystems. On Linux a space in a path or filename is the "\ "
controlsequence (don't know the ASCII code right now). But on Windows it is
0x20. As result, when gGo is forwarding the filename to GNU Go, the filename
will contain 0x20 spaces. And GNU Go's GTP parser simply breaks the command
on a 0x20 whitespace.
