While setting preferences I issued:

You have to respect the rules of the Windows command processor and
escape the backslash:
get_iplayer --prefs-add --output "H:\\"
Otherwise it thinks you are escaping the quote rather than using it to
enclose the path.
[I think, as well as the preference being saved incorrectly, there may be a
logic problem as one would not need to issue "mkdir <drive>:\" at all, and
here if I do issue that from an XP command prompt I get "Access denied". I
don't know of that would cause a problem for get_iplayer.]
No
