dired-get-filename does not work properly with find-dired especially
when filenames contain whitespaces.
the following fix is not elegant, but works fine.
(imho replacing the read would be best)
replace this:
(read (concat "\"" file "\""))
with:
(setq file
(replace-regexp-in-string
"\\\\ " " "
(read
(concat
"\"" (replace-regexp-in-string "\\ " "\\\\ " file) "\""))))

I suspect it does, following
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=10469
If it does not work for you in the current trunk (24.0.91 is a little
old), please give a complete example starting from emacs -Q.
