Yeah the spaces kill me as well sometimes, and then I think that the
spaces are okay sometimes.

The real issue is that a metakit column name can include any printable
character except a comma ",".

So, now you know :)

Here is another gotcha for you.  Never, ever delete a column and then
add a column with the same name and a different type.  This will drive
you bananas, I guarantee.

To safely do this, delete the column, write out the db to a new file. 
delete the database, repoen it and then add the new column.

At some point I had an enhanced python metakit tutorial, but I just
noticed that it was gone.  I'll dig it up and repost it on my new web
site.
