Just to follow up on this for anyone interested, I ended up taking a slightly different route to get this working.
What I did was run a loop to output the values of the variables into a plain txt file (one per line and including spaces), then when calling 7zip use the list file feature so it reads in the file and backs up the files listed within. Once done it removes the temp txt file.

Thanks again and keep up the good work in porting 7zip over to Linux!
Cheers.

file1="/folder/test1.txt"
file2="/folder/test2.txt"
files="$file1 $file2"
7za a -t7z /folder/test.7z $files

However if you rename the file...

Running Fedora 11 with p7zip 4.65

Example:
This works
# !/bin/bash
file1="/folder/test1.txt"
file2="/folder/test2.txt".
