I think for some reason you think you have an ordinary double-quote
there but it's been replaced with some strange character which looks
like one but isn't.  I'd delete that section in you configuration file
and re-type it, maybe using a different editor.  If you're using a
word-processor of some sort to edit your config files, it might be
trying to insert left and right double-quotes rather than the
bog-standard ordinary straight-up ones.

Other than that, I can't see a problem with what you've put there
(although you might need another "\" or two to escape the backslash -
I don't have my Nagios system to hand so can't check for sure.

Cheers,

Jim
