If you receive a POSIX path from somewhere, it will have spaces within the

Where are you getting your POSIX paths from, exactly? Quoting (either using quotes or backslashes) is purely a shell construct, and has nothing to do with the actual path or its POSIX-ness. It's possible to remove the quotes by running the string through echo(1), but depending on where they're coming from, it's probably possible to generate the correct data directly.
