The reason for this is that the text after ":" in your command line
specifies a DSSI plugin label, and labels can't contain spaces -- a
restriction inherited from LADSPA.

To work around this, dssi-vst replaces spaces with asterisks in the
plugin name. (Yes, nasty hack.) Try

  jack-dssi-host dssi-vst.so:Synful\*Orchestra\*VST.dll

Alternatively, the "vsthost" program in the dssi-vst distribution will
host a plugin using the server part of dssi-vst but without using
jack-dssi-host:

  vsthost "Synful Orchestra VST.dll"

This involves slightly less "wrappering", but the result should be the
same.
