Ah yes - a known problem. savegrp reads stdin to check for success or
failure of each save (or other backup command) that runs. On successful
completion of your fake backup command you need to display a message in the
same format that save displays. The following command used to work, I
haven't tested it on recent versions.

echo 'save: no_data  0KB 00:00:00     0 files   completed savetime=0'
