Did you read Eric's post? Do you know how we can solve this problem w/o using xargs?
Oh.. we can't. The quotes are taken as part of the name, since bash doesn't do any further processing on expanded variables. Thus, unless fed to an argument splitter like xargs, quotes strings in variables are not very useful. An alternative *could* be to use bash array env-vars. I don't know how you can manipulate those though :-p.
