I do not have any empty path components, as the error message claims.

Replacing all spaces with %20 or + did not work.

comment:2 Changed at 2014-08-10T23:01:36Z by jgillisp

replacing alias tahoe: with its value URI:DIR2:... allowed the file to be copied

comment:3 Changed at 2014-08-11T15:58:24Z by daira

The alias (tahoe:) should not be followed immediately by /, i.e. it should be tahoe:tahoe/Latest/.... That's why the message refers to empty pathname components -- Tahoe-LAFS parses an empty component between tahoe: and /.
