'An error ocured while applying Grants'

[spoddy]

V3.23.55 on Win32
Fresh install
Removed all users from mysql.users
Users skip-grant-tables to start server
Added user 'root' OK
Tried to grant full access with
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'root' WITH GRANT OPTION
But got 'An error ocured while applying Grants' and
Error 1047:Unknow command

Any ideas folks?
Thanks in advance
Adam

The it is a matter of ' and "

The right command is as follows

grant all privileges
on *.*
to root@'localhost'
identified by "password"
with grant option
;
