This is a shell issue. It will strip those quotes, and thus be seen by 
GDAL as your below string without quotes.

The requirement for the path to be surrounded by double-quotes is to 
make it more bullet proof to extract it. Particularly for windows with 
c:\bla . Other drivers such as netCDF have workarounds for those use 
cases, but I wasn't willing to implement them again for the new driver.

The ZARR: prefix is needed for remote datasets to force either probing 
for a few known files in the pointed path or issue a directory listing 
(when available).
