Can you post the code you are using. I just tested using this:
DECLARE @data NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'EXEC Proc_gen @PsID=12, @kID=-1, @ID=3183';SELECT @data AS theData ,
REPLACE(@data, ' ', '') AS dataNoSpaces;
Granted I tested on SQL Server 2012, but I'm not aware of any changes to the REPLACE functionality between 2005 and 2012.
I don't have access to a 2005 server to test on and I don't think I want to spin up a VM just for that.
I ran your code on both 2005 and 2008r2. Much as we both expected, it worked just fine and produced the same results.
