Well, I keep finding more problems with my script. It turns out it works find if there are no errors during compilation. Once compiler detects and error during compilation something interesting is happening. It tries to open the error.err file and generates the following error:
shell returned2
E303: Unable to open swap file for "and Settings\user\Projects\MyProject\trunk\src\myfile.c
"and Settings\user\Projects\MyProject\trunk\src\myfile.c,60 Error"[New DIRECTORY]

Does anybody know what is going on and how I can fix it? Any help is appreciated.

Here is my project setup script:

Here is my modified script, using Ben's advice for 8dot3 file path generation.
" Setup the project home directory.
let s:project_path = 'C:\Documents and Settings\user\Projects\MyProject\trunk'
let s:project_path_8dot3 = fnamemodify(s:project_path, ':8')

" Setup the project home directory.
let s:vim_project_path = fnameescape(s:project_path)
set cd=s:project_path_8dot3

" Setup make command.
" 1. Use makefile from 'src\makefile'.
" 2. Change to a 'src' directory before running make.
let &makeprg = s:project_path_8dot3.'\tools\make.exe'
let &makeprg .= ' -f '.s:project_path_8dot3.'\src\makefile'
let &makeprg .= ' --directory '.s:project_path_8dot3.'\src'

" Setup the file where the output of ':make' will be redirected.
let &makeef = s:project_path_8dot3.'\src\error.err'
