Obviously there are some bugs, which might interact with each other:
a) Pathnames, as proposed, with included blanks (and probably dots, etc).
b) A security/acl issue when trying to alter the security settings.
c) When there a old entries in the registry...
Hopefully, somebody of MySQL AB will recognise this to be a problem, since this is a annoying bug. The follwing receipt helped me on both 'essential' versons, MySQL Vs. 4.1.9 and 5.0.2, respectively.
Hope, it helps! ... regards, A.N.
