You are correct, sir! Thanks, it is indeed a quoting problem.

Okay, here's what seems to work on Windoze. Don't laugh:
emacs -batch --visit foo.org ^
--eval ^"(setq org-confirm-babel-evaluate nil)^" ^
--eval ^"(require 'ob-ditaa)^" ^
--eval ^"(setq org-babel-temporary-directory \^"tmp\^")^" ^
--eval ^"(setq org-ditaa-jar-path \^"/home/nick/elisp/org-mode
/contrib/scripts/ditaa.jar\^")^" ^
--funcall org-export-as-html
There is actually some reason to the rhyme, which is explained here:
