What does "tasks not showing up" mean? Were you adding tasks with QuickTask, and they weren't showing up in the Asana app?
 
Also, that error is occurring because the Asana API is not returning any workspaces, which means either you don't have workspaces or there is a problem with your API key. The "tasks not showing up" problem would also support the possibility that there is a problem with your key.

+1. (Sadly, this problem has been around a long time and only recently, after a long period of languishing, has received a bit of attention with the added option of escaping backslashes.)
 
In particular, a single, aggregate option to escape the entire query for use in bash would be great.
 
As of Alfred 2.0.3, one has to jump through the following hoops to achieve that:
 
Opt to escape ONLY the following characters in Alfred:Backquotes Double Quotes Backslashes Dollars Use double-quoting to refer to query: "{query}"  
 
Incidentally, if you want to play interactively with how the shell escapes strings, use: 
  printf '%q\n' 'inputString'. 
 
Similarly, Applescript's "quoted form of" can be used to experiment:
 
  quoted form of "Honey\\(`sweetie`), I'm $HOME."
 
Here's a piece of text that can serve as test input to see if it can be passed through without any modification (e.g., by echoing {query} and redirecting to a file): 
 
It ain't "easy".
a\b \\server
a|b & more
test: `ls`; also: $( ls )
$HOME, sweet \$HOME - \a!
