kadmin -q 'cpw -pw "a b" user' works for me; I'm not certain why it
isn't working for you.
In MIT krb5 1.14 and later, you can also omit the -q option and just write:
kadmin -p AdminAccount/admin -w AdminPassword cpw -pw "a b" user
This form bypasses the internal word-splitting logic and lets you
specify each word of the command as a separate argument value.
