Hi

I got a strange problem doing incrementals with tar over ssh using
--newer=$incrDate+. It seems an "escape problem" of part of the time
reference for the incremental. The date part of --newer is parsed
correctly but the hour part of --newer.. doesn't and is changed in
00:00:00 and tar interprets 11:34:33 as a filename that doesn't exist.

extract from logfile

Running: /usr/bin/ssh -c blowfish -C -q -x -n -l backup $host $tarPath
-c -v -v -f - -C /root --totals --newer=2009-01-07 11:34:33 .

incr backup started back to 2009-01-07 11:34:33 (backup #0) for
directory /root
Xfer PIDs are now 25928,25927
/bin/tar: Treating date `2009-01-07' as 2009-01-07 00:00:00 + 0
nanoseconds
/bin/tar: 11\:34\:33: Cannot stat: No such file or directory

The problem disappears if I use mtime and not incrDate+ (or rsync) in
the incremental options of tar.

What I'm wrong?

Thanks in advance.
