One thing you could try is to have cmd.exe as the first command, something like

 v_command := 'cmd.exe/c copy c:\whoops.dat c:\'||'"'||'aa aa' || '"' ||'';

I can't check the syntax of the above, so it may be wrong.

I have found that explicitly running cmd.exe from within HOST on NT is often important.
