Am I missing something here?  How are the problems with DIR relevant
to emacsclient?  It is well known that DIR doesn't grok forward
slashes because it tries to interpret what follows a forward slash as
an option (try "DIR /?" and you will see what options it supports).
However, emacsclient is not DIR; emacsclient simply passes the file
names to the OS API, and the OS API does support forward slashes as
well as backslashes.

So please show us where the forward slashes fail inside emacsclient,
not with DIR.
