Hello!

The help pages for shellescape() say:

On MS-Windows and MS-DOS, when 'shellslash' is not set, it
will enclose {string} in double quotes and double all double
quotes within {string}.
For other systems, it will enclose {string} in single quotes
and replace all "'" with "'\''".

IIUC, your problem is that you're getting single quotes instead of
double quotes. Do you happen to have 'shellslash' set?

:echo &shellslash
