That's one of the advantages to having the folder-hooks source files 
of other hooks:  the quoting is much simpler.

It's important to remember that the command argument to each hook 
is a single command, so the whole command argument usually needs to 
be quoted as a single string.  I usually use the following quoting 
conventions: 

   '    outermost level
   "    next level in
   \"   next level in

Once you get the quoting right for one hook, though, you can 
construct most of your other hooks by copy-paste-edit.
