Single quotes have no meaning to squid-3.3. They will be passed as-is
through to the shell arguments for the helper program.
 -> that might your problem.

Double quotes are also passed through as well, BUT that is shell quoting
syntax. So in places where shell is used to run the helper they can
cause tricky parameters to be handled right.

NP: in all cases the space-delimited way Squid handles the lines breaks
things for complex strings of any kind involving whitespace characters.
 -> this might also be your problem.
