Try using "\ " instead of " " in the filename (or add single quotes
arround the whole sout chain option/value). I guesst that the option
parser is spliting the option at the first space hence VLC only gets
--sout=#transcode{ab=64,acodec=mp3,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:standard{access=file,mux=raw,dst="C:\Documents
as the sout stream and adds the other stuff as playlist items.

Cheers,
