Parsing the command line arguments is done by parse_args() in

  l4util/lib/src/getopt2.c

This function recognizes quotations as first character of an command line
argument. Please could you try if

  (nd)/loader --fprov=BMODFS "hddencrypter '--password=xx x'"
                              ^param0       ^param1

works for you?
