Problem with Date formats

Hi, I'm doing some experiments with subversion and noticed the 
following problem:

System - RedHat EWS 3.0 Update 2, 32-bit Intel Xeon processor
Subversion client (svn) version 1.0.5 (r9954)

Using a local file:/// address (on a local disk) if I try and use 
revision dates I get syntax errors:

svn log -r {"2004-01-01"}
svn: Syntax error in revision argument '2004-01-01'

Any idea what's going wrong ?  Am I using the wrong date format ?

{ may be a special character (e.g. with zsh). Try

  svn log -r'{2004-01-01}'
