I did try single quotes, unfortunately that did not work either. I modified the maven script to print out is quoted args variable, looks like it did some sort of filename expansion with the '*' character.
When I perform: echo "0 0 23 * * *" I get: 0 0 23 * * *, as one would expect. Seems like a bug in the maven script that is creating the QUOTED_ARGS variable at the beginning of the script.
