[Abcde-users] Embedding album art in opus files

[Alan W. Kerr]

the problem is that the current code only passes the "format string".
It also needs to be evaluated (convert the string to the actual path). 
Using the method from do_move, the line should be:

FINDPATH="$(eval echo \""$OUTPUTFORMAT"\")"

so, it just needed the "excaped backslashes".  this makes:
$OUTPUTFORMAT -> "format string"
echo "format string" -> path (fills-in the variables in the string to 
make a path)
eval re-evaluates the path
"$(path)" -> FINDPATH
