IIRC, the quote marks are only required if the path contains spaces.

I didn't know that long filenames would need to be entered like that, or is it because I have a space in the folder name and Dosbox doesn't understand that?
It's because no command line utility can tell the difference between a space that's part of an argument and one that separates arguments. That's what the quotation symbols are for - "This string continues until you find a matching quotation mark."
