I don't know about the "Backup aborted", but for mkpath failing I would
suspect misquoting the exclamation mark in the path to your TopDir to be
responsible. I can't really trace it down right now, but I tend to wonder why
anyone would put shell metacharacters in their TopDir - it's asking for
trouble, successfully as it appears. The same applies to long lines in emails
and missing line breaks in quoted log file excerpts ;-).
Of course any path for TopDir *should* work, as long as the OS accepts it, but
there are choices more likely to trigger bugs than others ...
I don't know if the "Backup aborted" is related to your choice of TopDir as
well. Are you backing up more than one host? Could you try out things like
changing the XferMethod or your TopDir?
Regards,
Holger
