Have you really got your accounts file in the root of C:? That sounds
like a bad idea.

What do you mean by the final statement?  Do you mean that
gnucash C:\myfile.gnucash
also fails?  If so then this is not an issue with the quotes but just
with running from the command line.

This will show you where to find the trace file which will likely have
more information.
