a workaround for my problem seems to be to give the send-message
explicitely and in quotes. like:
<script>
 #!/bin/sh
 OPTIONS="-rt -open ${PATCH}"
 MSG="pd quit"
 pd ${OPTIONS} -send "${MSG}"
</scrip>

leaving the MSG empty doesn't do anything (which is good).

however, i would like a cleaner solution (where the entire
options-string is built dynamically)
