I guess /usr/bin/wine is actually winelauncher - a shell script. At a
guess, this means the shell is actually seeing your command line twice,
and by the time wine sees it, it sees two arguments, "/mnt/C/Program"
which it won't be able to run, and "Files/Agent/agent.exe". I think you
need to double the backslash.
tilleyrw at debian:~$ wine /mnt/C/Program\\ Files/Agent/agent.exe
or single quote the entire mess:
tilleyrw at debian:~$ wine '/mnt/C/Program\ Files/Agent/agent.exe'

ICBW, of course. Seems to me that you should get a return code 2 for
giving it a program it can't find.
