1) Put the filename in quotes. So for example:

 gpg -r xxx -o "C:\Test New\Test.gpg" --encrypt "C:\Test New\Test.txt"

2) use 8.3 naming, e.g. the default GnuPG homedir in new versions would be
DOCUME~1\username\APPLIC~1\GnuPG

 gpg -r xxx -o C:\TestNe~1\Test.gpg --encrypt C:\TestNe~1\Test.txt

  You can use DIR/X to get 8.3 file names


On a different note, Any reason to hang on to such an old version of GnuPG?
