Hi Stephane,

I think you have to specify that you are opening a directory by 
appending a "/" after its name. Here it's an example:

>>  change-dir %"/macintosh hd/desktop folder/"
== %/macintosh%20hd/desktop%20folder/
>>  open %myfolder
** Access Error: Cannot open /macintosh hd/desktop folder/myfolder.
** Where: open %myfolder
>>  open %myfolder/
>>
>>  probe open %myfolder/

make object! [
     scheme: directory
     host: none
     port-id: none
     user: none
     pass: none
     target: %
     path: %/macintosh%20hd/desktop%20folder/myfolder/
     proxy: none
     access: none
     allow: none
     buffer-size: none
     limit: none
     handler: none
     status: none
     size: none
     date: none
     url: none
     sub-port: none
     locals: none
     state:
     make object! [
         flags: 4194835
         misc: [0 0 "/macintosh hd/desktop folder/myfolder/"]
         tail: 0
         num: 0
         with: "^/"
         custom: none
         index: 0
         func: 1
         fpos: 0
         inBuffer: []
         outBuffer: none
     ]
     timeout: none
]

Hope it helps.
