Eh?  The escape character is backslash.  That's probably why there are
so many of them in that DN already.

Keep in mind that backslash is also an escape character in the shell,
so at least in Bourne-type shells you have to duplicate each
backslash just so it'll reach the command.  If you need to duplicate
them in the command as well (which I don't know), you'll have to
quadruple each backslash:-(
