Yeah, now I see things clearly. It's really tricky, everything works fine, even
a "name with blanks.csv" can be defined as address data source via 'Address
Data Source Wizard', but in Mailmerge Wizard the same definition to assign a
name with blanks.csv" as data source wizard fails. Really strange!

Steps how to reproduce Reproducible with server installation of "AOO 4.1.0-Beta
– German UI / German locale - [AOO410m14(Build:9760)  -  Rev. 1573601
2014-03-03 17:47:48]" on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit)", own separate user
profile:

0. Download / Unzip Test Kit
1. From AOO Start center menu 'Tools -> Options -> Base -> Databases' 
   Delete all unknown / unnecessary Databases [OK]
2. Quit / Relaunch AOO
3. From AOO Start Center open new empty writer document
4. Menu 'File -> Wizards -> Adress Data source.... -> Other External source
   -> [Next] -> [Settings]'
5. Select Text -> [Next]
6. Browse for folder where you extracted test kit \ DSW 
   > No files will be shown
7. [Select] -> Next -> Selec CSV (radio button) -> Character set = "Wetern
Europe
   (WIN-1252/WinLatin 1)" -> Check "Text Contains Headers" 
   Leave Field Separator comma, [Finish]
   > Pane shows "Sample database csv - Adress Datasource Wizard" and 
     "Sample database csv - Maiol Merge Wizard"
8. Click "Sample database csv - Adress Datasource Wizard" -> Next -> Next
9. In Step 5 Change Filename from Addresses.odb to AddressesDSW.odb and change
   Address book name from Addresses to AddressesDSW -> [Finish]
10. Do a quick test in Untitled 1 with <f4>: Database "AdressesDSW" will be
    shown with a single Table and Names "a1" and more

   That worked fine, now similar test from Mail Merge Wizard
14. In Text Document menu 'Tools -> Mail Merge Wizard -> Click step 3 ->
    [Select Address List]'
   > Shows "AdressesDSW" from test above
15. [Add]
16.  Browse for folder where you extracted test kit \ MMW
    -> Select "Sample database csv - Mail Merge Wizard.csv"  [Open]
17. Leave Field Separator comma, rest does not matter, 
    Character set = "Wetern Europe (WIN-1252/WinLatin 1)" 
    -> Check "Text Contains Headers" [OK]
    > An indicator that this did not work is that no table pane for this .csv 
      will be shown and that ok button leaves greyed 
18. Click "AdressesDSW" and back to second .csv -> [OK]
    >  It looks as if that would have worked, but you can not reach steps 
       behind  MMW step 3 with this approach
20. Do a quick test in Untitled 1 with <f4>: An Additional "Sample Database
..."
    will be shown, but Tables will be shown, this data base is unusable

So finally we can confirm the old report for AOO 4.1.0 Beta, it's impossible to
add a .csv with blanks in name. That works fine with names without blanks (I
did a test), and via Address Datasources Wizard also .csv with blanks in the
name will be handled correctly. 

That has been some hard work!

@Edwin:
Thank you for additional test, what showed up important details I never should
have tested
