Are you talking about the initial problem?  If so, here it is:

On some non GNU/Linux system, if you use 'find-dired' to collect some
files 'dired-goto-file' won't work on files whose name contains space.

FWIW, "ls" is not involved here, only "find" and how Emacs should
interpret its output with the "-ls" flag.
