    backupninja -n -d

    Two problems:

    • Mysterious syntax error (if I manually run the command, it works fine)
    • The command completely fails, yet backupninja treats it as a SUCCESS

    I've attached the .rsync which causes this, maybe its a config issue?

    I'm using whatever version of backupninja comes with debian squeeze. There appears to be no "backupninja --version" flag so I can't really tell.
