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.
