Does this help?
andrew-lentvorskis-computer:~ andrewl$ cat test.sh
echo dd if="$1" of="$2"
andrew-lentvorskis-computer:~ andrewl$ bash test.sh "foo\ bar" "foo\ baz"
dd if=foo\ bar of=foo\ baz
andrew-lentvorskis-computer:~ andrewl$ bash test.sh "\"foo\ bar\"" "\"foo\
baz\""
dd if="foo\ bar" of="foo\ baz"
andrew-lentvorskis-computer:~ andrewl$ bash test.sh "\"foo bar\"" "\"foo baz\""
dd if="foo bar" of="foo baz"
Use either the quotation marks or the backslashes, not both, i.e.:
$ bash test.sh "foo bar" "foo baz"
OR
$ bash test.sh foo\ bar foo\ baz
