That's not correct.  If you check sample-etc_ddclient.conf you'll see
you have to use this:

use=fw, fw=192.168.1.1

So you don't need any backticks in the configuration.

I hope removing the back-ticks will fix your problem.  I also hope you
specified the correct regular expression so ddclient can fetch you IP
from the returned page.
