Revise instructions surrounding CVMFSEXEC_REPOS

Since ospool-ep.cfg looks like shell syntax, someone might assume this is correct: CVMFSEXEC_REPOS="x y" However, ospool-ep.cfg actually gets passed to the container utility using --env-file. Thus this is correct: CVMFSEXEC_REPOS=x y Be more clear about this. Signed-off-by: W. Michael Petullo <[email protected]>

 [cvmfsexec](https://github.com/CVMFS/cvmfsexec#readme) is a tool that can be used to mount CVMFS inside the container
 without requiring CVMFS on the host.
 To enable cvmfsexec, specify a space-separated list of repos in the `CVMFSEXEC_REPOS` environment variable.
-At a minimum, we recommend enabling the following repos:
-
--   `oasis.opensciencegrid.org`
--   `singularity.opensciencegrid.org`
+Adding the following line to `/etc/osg/ospool-ep.cfg` will enable the repos we recommend:
+```
+CVMFSEXEC_REPOS=oasis.opensciencegrid.org singularity.opensciencegrid.org
+```
+Note the absence of quotes around the definition. The startup scripts pass `/etc/osg/ospool-ep.cfg
+into the container utility, and thus its defintions are not subject to shell syntax.
 
 Additionally, you may set the following environment variables to further control the behavior of cvmfsexec:
