This appears to be related to the default value of the BASH internal variable $IFS (internal field separator). It defaults to whitespace, which includes the space character. The for loop interprets the space inside $FILES as a field separator. Try setting $IFS to ONLY new line above the for loop. IFS=$'\n' for i in $FILES .. .. ..
