Thanks for the reply. I'm on Windows Vista and I was giving the eXist 
client shell an absolute path. After reading your reply I knew that the 
path should be enclosed in "", but that I should not replace spaces with 
%20, which narrowed things down for me. After that it was easy to 
discover the problem: I had to use double instead of single backslashes 
(or simply use forward slashes) as illustrated here:
exist:/db> put "C:\Users\guldkungen\workspace\python libxml2 xpath 
test\P24033.xml"
parsed 0 bytes in 0ms.
exist:/db> put "C:\\Users\\guldkungen\\workspace\\python libxml2 xpath 
test\\P24033.xml"
storing document P24033.xml (1 of 1) ...done.
parsing 13751 bytes took 36ms.

parsed 13751 bytes in 36ms.
exist:/db> rm P24033.xml
removing document P24033.xml ...done.
exist:/db> put "C:/Users/guldkungen/workspace/python libxml2 xpath 
test/P24033.xml"
