It works. Thanks.
Actually, I thought I had already tried that, as I had realized that I should
have even before I posted my question. So I apologize for falsely remembering
that I had tried it. I originally included the quotes because the path had
spaces in it. Normally the presence of quotes does no harm. I am sure it
would be possible to make emacsclient more robust in this situation. I did
think the double quotes in the error message were suspicious, which is why I
called attention to them.

Never got that far, but I am sure it would work since it works with spaces.
Thanks again,
