It is a parenthesis problem. It works fine with spaces.
I haven't tested all other possible special characters but in general ImageJ is quite flexible in what it accepts in filenames.

I just tested with space in filename
"C:\Program Files\ImageJ\ImageJ.exe" -macro " C:\MyPath \Test Macro.ijm" "C:\MyPath\MyImage 2.tif"
and it works fine.

Is that a parenthesis issue or is it the spaces in the name?
There are often problems and unexpected behaviour when using files that have spaces.

I do not know if it is a bug, but in the mean time, maybe you can create a Win batch script that first copies the file from the read-only system into a writeable location and then runs ImageJ on that location.
