It's because of the backticks.
This is stretching my memory but the backticks are probably casuing it
to interpret the single backslash as an escape character rather than the
backslash character...
Does this work for your shell on Solaris?
Thanks!

Just curious, could someone please explain *why* the two slashes are
required in this case? Is it a Solaris thing? I usually work with ksh
on HP and AIX, and I've always used just a single slash with no
problems.
Thanks

Thanks to all for the quick responses, but especially Mangus and
Somckit.
Putting in 2 slashes instead of 1 does the trick!
