Escape \ in nagios config files?

I want to check the disk space of a UNC path -
\\localhost\_definst_\mp3\mn_mp3_08_07\streams

>From the command line, I can check it fine (using check_nrpe2) if I
escape each  \ like this:

\\\\localhost\\_definst_\\mp3\\mn_mp3_08_07\\streams

But when I try to use configure Nagios to check it, it strips out all
the \ characters.  I've tried single quotes, double quotes, and escaping
each \ - no luck.  How can I tell Nagios about this path in a service
definition without it stripping out the special characters?  Is there an
escape method I'm missing?
