Right, that, it turns out, was an issue with quoting paths under Windows
which exists in 1.7.0 and has since been fixed. Thus rabbitmq-server
default branch no longer has this bug.

Under Windows? I suspect you may be the first!

Right, I have fixed the bug on the BQL plugin. Unfortunately it has yet
to be QA'd and so it's not on the default branch. At this point, because
of the above bug, the only possible solution under Windows is to run the
default branch of rabbitmq-server and the bab71e658da2 revision of BQL.
I believe that *should* work under Windows. I'm afraid that for reasons
of sanity, none of us develop here under Windows which explains,
although does not excuse, how these problems arose.

Please let us know how you get on.
