The OP is not using the backslash as a directory separator. They are using it as an escape character because of the space in the folder name, thus:
That is correct usage.
@imortalninja161, as far as I can see your problem is straightforward:

drwx------ 10 root root 4096 2011-08-10 10:27 Tafe cert4
It's not clear from your post how you got that output (what command did you use?), but your "Tafe cert4" is owned by root and only root has rwx permissions. That's why you can't open it. If "Tafe cert4" is in your home folder, do this command.
Code:
sudo chown -R ninjalo161: Tafe\ cert4
The -R option will also change the ownership of any files inside the "Tafe cert4" folder.
EDIT: that command assumes you are still "in" your home directory in the terminal - that is, that you haven't cd'd anywhere.(end-edit).
By the way, when posting terminal output, please use [code][/code] tags, not quote tags. You lose important formatting with quote tags.
