This basically worked. Bash seemed to balk at the punctuation, which I didn't understand. But thanks!
Put the string inside 'single quotes' and bash will not attempt to interpret any shell meta-characters it might contain. When you use "double quotes" bash parses the string and processes meta-characters.
