Problems with VFAT files with spaces in Wine

I am running RedHat 7.1 on it's own linux drive, and have my win98 drive 
mounted in fstab as vfat.  I have installed wine, and can run programs 
on my windows drive in old 8.3 named directoies.  However, whenever I 
try to run anything in Program Files, for example (with the space in the 
file name), I get the following error:
/opt/wine/bin/wine.bin: cannot find 'mnt/c/Program\ Files/Sony\ 
Handheld/palm.exe
I can try it from either the terminal, or from GNOME, but it can't seem 
to find any files with spaces.
I can cd to that directory in the terminal, and the files exist, but 
wine just cannot find them.
I have "FileSystem" = "win95" in my wine config file.
Thanks in advance for your help.
