This is not correct. It's not that basename doesn't like spaces, the
problem is incorrect quoting. Example:
$ basename /a/b/c.d .d
c
$ basename "/a/b/c.d .d"
c.d .d
And since the result still contains a space, you still have to quote
it when using it in subsequent calls:
$ cat "c.d .d"
Hello
$ cat c.d .d
cat: c.d: No such file or directory
cat: .d: No such file or directory
