The odd thing here is that your error message's commandline appears
not to be derivable from the above AFAICT.

warning: `(gs -q -dNOSAFER -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=595.28 
-dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=841.89 -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -r1200 
-sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=./All night.pdf -c.setpdfwrite -fAll night.ps)'

So it leaves me wondering where your gs command is being invoked from.

... which is fine as long as others (who might wish to use spaces)
don't hit the same problem. But as you wrote that you moved a few
files around, perhaps this had some bearing on the problem.

Cheers,
David.
