I guess not.  The code below that saves "test data.csv" produces the
error shown when I try to use "My Documents" but it works fine when I
use "Documents":

save translate
/outfile ="C:\Users\amead\My Documents\test data.csv"
/type = csv
/fieldnames
/cells = values
/keep v3 v1 to v2.

error: Replacing C:\Users\amead\My Documents\test data.csv.tmpA8dGMU by C:
\Users\amead\My Documents\test data.csv: No such file or directory.

save translate
/outfile ="C:\Users\amead\Documents\test data.csv"
/type = csv
/fieldnames
/cells = values
/keep v3 v1 to v2.

(no error, file is created)
