That should work, but written correctly EPSG:

D:\Karten\gdal\gdal-1-11>gdalsrsinfo epsg:4326

PROJ.4 : '+proj=longlat +datum=WGS84 +no_defs '

OGC WKT :
GEOGCS["WGS 84",
     DATUM["WGS_1984",
         SPHEROID["WGS 84",6378137,298.257223563,
             AUTHORITY["EPSG","7030"]],
         AUTHORITY["EPSG","6326"]],
     PRIMEM["Greenwich",0,
         AUTHORITY["EPSG","8901"]],
     UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433,
         AUTHORITY["EPSG","9122"]],
     AUTHORITY["EPSG","4326"]]

Filepath and filename should be without quotation marks.

It might well be that the files do not have CRS information stored.
You could apply it using gdal_translate or gdal_edit.py, then test if 
gdalsrsinfo works for you.
