Follow-up to #3242.

PR #3242 fixes IPv6 address support in OUTPUT_URL/BACKUP_URL (using the square bracket address syntax that was broken due to unquoted expansion of variables, which treated square brackets as shell metacharacters).

It looks like similar unfixed issues exist with davfs:

and cifs:

I found it by analyzing the code only, I have not actually tested the code in question.
