That sounds about right.  The command processor strips the first layer of
quotes before it parses it.  Emacs should put the whole command line in
quotes to avoid the first layer of parsing by cmd.exe.

It's possible RCS is being called differently (is it a DOS or Cygwin app? 
They are treated differently).
