It looks like you're using the Dropbox API v1 Ruby SDK, so you don't need to do any escaping yourself. The SDK will take care of it.
Also, the API can see the single quote character. I just tried it out and it's working properly for me. Is it possible you have the wrong path? Also, when looking at the response, make sure to check "is_deleted" so you know if you're looking at an active or deleted file, as well as the returned "path" field so you can confirm which file you're getting back while debugging this.
If you're still having trouble, please share the values you're using and the output you're getting and we'll be happy to look into it.
