^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If the above is the literal value you tried, it is again incorrect:
each backslash should be doubled. If you did double them all, or used
forward slashes, then there's a different bug in your version of
Hunspell; it worked for me once I understood the problem.
Did you veryfy that Hunspell is invoked by Emacs with the correct -p
switch?
