I think the "c:/PROGRA~2" may ultimately come from the erl.ini file in the CouchDb bin directory but I'm not sure of that, and don't know if changing it there would be sufficient. The "~2" business may not be an error either - some programs still live in the days of 8.3 file names and use this convention for reporting names that don't fit that convention.
If you want to try another path, the simplest way would be to uninstall CouchDb and reinstall somewhere like C:\CouchDb which is short and has no spaces. While the uninstall should leave your local.ini file and databases alone, it would be best to back them up somewhere and then copy to the new installation.
