The root problem (still there in django 1.3.1) is that the code that execs the sqlite3 client doesn't deal with spaces in the sqlite db pathname. I added some quotes as follows:

django.db.backends.sqlite3/client.py

class DatabaseClient(BaseDatabaseClient):
        executable_name = 'sqlite3'

        def runshell(self):
            args = [self.executable_name,
                    '"' + self.connection.settings_dict['NAME'] + '"'] # JA HACK 
            if os.name == 'nt':
                sys.exit(os.system(" ".join(args)))
            else:
                os.execvp(self.executable_name, args)

and it now works for me (only tested Windows - os.name 'nt').
