How to use rsync when filenames contain double quotes?

[Walrus Foolhill]

Thanks for your answer. I am using rsync version 3.0.7 protocol 30 on Ubuntu
10.04 Lynx Lucid to synchronize the content of my Samsung laptop with an
external hard-drive from Western Digital. Both hard-drives don't seem to
have the same filesystem type (ext3 versus vfat): can it be due to this?
Should I reformat my external hard-drive in ext3?

$ rsync --version
rsync  version 3.0.7  protocol version 30
