Here is what I am doing with bacula-2.5, and the quoting is rather silly. I'm
using RunScript rather than ClientRunBeforeJob, though I would guess that the
quoting would be the same:

Job {
  ...
  RunScript {
      RunsWhen = Before
      RunsOnClient = yes
      FailJobOnError = yes
      Command = "\"C:/Program Files/Bacula/bin/ClientRunBeforeJob.bat\""
  }
}

The quoting when trying to restore in bconsole is very silly too.

I found that you need to have three backslashes to quote a backslash, two to
quote each of *?[, and one to quote a double-quote!

I also use "" around everything because otherwise it thinks whitespace means
the end of the filename.

So, if I had a file named...

abc *?["\

...then I'd type this:

mark "abc \\*\\?\\[\"\\\\"
