Bash / Escaping quotes is driving me crazy . .

[Philip Rhoades]

People,

This line correctly finds one MP3 but misses two FLACs:

   ssh localhost "find 
/home/phil/music/ambient/RobertGass+OnWingsOfSong/OmNamahaShivaya 
-maxdepth 1 -type f \\( -name "*.mp3" -o -name "*.m4a" -o -name "*.flac" 
\\)"

Adding extra escapes fixes the problem:

   ssh localhost "find 
/home/phil/music/ambient/RobertGass+OnWingsOfSong/OmNamahaShivaya 
-maxdepth 1 -type f \\( -name \"*.mp3\" -o -name \"*.m4a\" -o -name 
\"*.flac\" \\)"

. . but why is there only a problem with the "flac" OR? - all three 
files have at least one space in the filename:

01_Early Morning.mp3
02 Om.flac
01 Om Namaha Shivaya.flac

Thanks,

Phil.
