No, the share is just /home.

Here's the usage:

    usage: /usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_zipCreate [options] 
files/directories...

You need to supply the list of files/directories to include in
the zip archive as an additional argument, not as part of the
share name.  So try this:

    /usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_zipCreate -c 4 -h fshac1 -n 530 -s /home 
hefinw > /backup/hefin.zip
