Okay, a few things:
Are you starting jack_fst from /usr/lib/wine, i.e., from the same
directory as the plugin ?
I removed the spaces too, it works fine.
You don't need to start Wine. These applications (jack_fst, vsti) make
use of libwine's functions, you don't need to run Wine before starting
jack_fst.
Try these steps:
Make sure Jack is running (I use Rui Nuno Capela's qjackctl).
Open a terminal, enter this command from your home directory prompt:
jack_fst /usr/lib/wine/HyperCanvas
Let me know what happens.

No slam taken, I think you're being pretty patient with the whole thing.
I'd have given up a while ago... ;)
The tutorial should be wiki-ized. I wrote it testing libfst 1.5, the
mkinstalldirs bug's in 1.6. I do try to be specific about version
numbers tested, but I don't have time to keep the tutorial up to date.
There is a small but very active community of VST/VSTi plugin testers,
and I would rather see the users keep the tutorial current. Wikis seem
like a good way to maintain things like the toot.
