tcl puzzle for cygwin tcl'ers im stuck on one specific line

[Jim McNamara]

Error in startup script: couldn't execute "docker cp "dd9b7672d98a:/home/masterblasterx1001/etack" "c:/Users/stealth_droid"": no such file or directory
    while executing
"exec $docker_command"
    (procedure "execute_docker_cp" line 11)
    invoked from within
"execute_docker_cp"
    (file "myexec.tcl" line 43)
child process exited abnormally

set docker_command "docker cp \"$container_id:$container_path\" \"$windows_path\""

the ai cant get it either!

Error in startup script: bad option "Failed to execute command: couldn't execute "docker cp "dd9b7672d98a:/home/masterblasterx1001/etack" "c:/Users/stealth_droid"": no such file or directory": must be -default, -detail, -icon, -message, -parent, -title, or -type

This is so crazy to me. The AI can't get it to use a path that exec $docker_commmand can understand but powershell takes what it complains about like this:  docker cp dd9b7672d98a:/home/masterblasterx1001/etack c:/Users/stealth_droid/
Successfully copied 1.54kB to c:\Users\stealth_droid

thanks if you can give me a tip.
