Did you sort this problem out eventually?  We're having the same problem.

We pass a DOS command that we've compiled in Vis.C a parameter from within a
bash shell and all our quotes are "played" with.

ie.   #> ourcommand   'my oh my "this is a string" that is played with'

and we get    "my oh my \"this is a string\" that is played with"
(including the surrounding double quotes) in our DOS program.

Not what we want really.
