Properties in JMeter for GUI and CMD

I have a JMeter script, where I have some user defined Variables like FILE_SAVE_PATH. This script should be started on a command line with parameter -J. So in the GUI, I changed the value for the variable FILE_SAVE_PATH to ${__P(FILE_SAVE_PATH, "C:\svn\trunk\dir")}, because the test should save there a file, but only on my machine. On the machine, where the script will be started from command line, it should save the file into another path.

My problem is now this: When I test this JMeter script on my machine in the GUI, I get an output of this:

About to replace in property of type: class org.apache.jmeter.testelement.property.StringProperty: ${__P(FILE_SAVE_PATH, "C:\svn\trunk\dir")} 
2017/04/04 17:09:38 DEBUG - jmeter.testelement.property.AbstractProperty: Not running version, return raw function string 
2017/04/04 17:09:38 DEBUG - jmeter.engine.util.ValueReplacer: Replacement result: ${__P(FILE_SAVE_PATH, "C:\svn\trunk\dir")}

But I think, the last line should be something like this:

2017/04/04 17:09:38 DEBUG - jmeter.engine.util.ValueReplacer: Replacement result: "C:\svn\trunk\dir"

So, how to change the test to get the result I want?

Escape every backslash with another one - C:\\svn\\trunk\\dir, or use unix slash, JVM's gonna handle it right: C:/svn/trunk/dir

And remove the doublequotes, they're not needed.

P.S. I presumed you're not using that notation in the Beanshell/JSR223 context. If you do - stop there and use the legit way to access properties.
