That second backslash ensures that the parameter value is passed as " 
false" rather than "false".  Remove that and see what happens.  
Backslash is an escape character which instructs the shell to pass the 
following character rather than treat it as a separator, but you 
probably already knew that.  It can be used at the end of a line as a 
continuation marker; i.e. ignore the newline.
