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) "\""))))


In GNU Emacs 24.0.91.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d 
scroll bars)

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.
