Not quite. --diff-cmd is for specifying the name of the diff program to run, e.g. diff. If you want to name a diff program whose path or name contains spaces, then you have to quote it, but that would be unusual. svn diff --diff-cmd '/path with spaces/to/diff' -x is for specifying the arguments to pass to that diff program, e.g. -w. If you want to pass multiple arguments to the diff program, you have to quote them. svn diff --diff-cmd diff -x '-u -w'
