The command line generator seems to be the way to go for quoting
files/directories. Did you check the generated makefile (using the
External builder) to see if the quoted string ends up correctly in
there, if so then the problem might be in the program you are 
calling, e.g. sometimes control programs remove a level of quoting
before passing the options to sub-programs, in that case an extra
level of quoting/escaping may be necessary.
