The problem arises when you try to use the output of another command in the for. i.e.: for i in `ls *.jpg` will have the problem you describe, as will for i in `find -name *.jpg` When I ran into that problem, I ended up just using 'for i in *.jpg' without using a backticked command to work around it.
