How to pass path with whitespace to fs_open…

I'm using lua 5.4.6 with neovim and have a script that tries to get a file descriptor number when passed a path. I have some files with whitespace and these are not returning a fd. I've spent hours looking for how to accomplish this, but nothing is jumping out at me. Perhaps I've lost the forest for the trees. Last resort, I thought I'd come ask the people responsible for the thing.

I've attempted the path as:

• /path/'filename with spaces.ext'
• /path/filename\ with\ spaces.ext
• '/path/filename with space.ext'
• /path/"filename with spaces.ext"

Everything is return 0 for the fd, but I know the file exists.

Same code works for files without spaces. So passing /path/filename_without_spaces.ext returns a valid fd and my script continues.

Didn't want to enter this as a bug if, in fact, it is pilot error.

Pilot error. There is something specific about the file I'm testing with. Gahh! Dumb of me to not try that before.
