You can't mix noweb and variable calling.  You could pass the files in
using either of the following techniques.

#+name: files-tab
| with space |
| nospace    |

#+name: files-ex
: with space
: nospace

#+name: list
#+begin_src sh :var files="" :results verbatim
IFS="
"
for file in $files;do
  echo "-|$file|-"
done
#+end_src

#+call: list(files-tab)

#+RESULTS:
: -|with space|-
: -|nospace|-

#+call: list(files-ex)

#+RESULTS:
: -|with space|-
: -|nospace|-
