There are not a few missing quotes, but a single missing quote.
See the thread around 
http://www.rhyolite.com/pipermail/dcc/2006/003145.html

Or edit line 164 in /var/dcc/libexec/start-dccm from

       -o `expr "X$ARGV0" : '\(X[-_a-zA-Z0-9]*\)` != "X$ARGV0"; then

       -o `expr "X$ARGV0" : '\(X[-_a-zA-Z0-9]*\)'` != "X$ARGV0"; then
