You shouldn't actually be able to see the \ chracters, so I would assume
that you're escaping them somehow and magic quotes are getting in the
way on the live server with the problems.
Have you checked the magic quotes settings on both servers. Also, as a
general rule of thumb, if something stops working on a new server, check
to see if the setup is the same. Compare the output of phpinfo() on both
of them first, as that will show you any obvious differences.
Thanks,
Ash
