The $* variable will expand to all arguments given on the
command line, e. g.

        $ ./myscript foo bar baz

will result in

        mkdir "foo bar baz"

and so create a directory named

        foo\ bar\ baz

including the spaces. If you only want to access the first
parameter, use $1, and for good form, check it before
further processing. Your use of quotes to include the
parameter is already good form. :-)
