no, $t->{host} is correct. $args are for Net::FTP (which expects a member
"Host"), $t is from BackupPC (which uses a member "host").

I haven't got time right now to trace down the "invalid argument". Does the
DNS name resolve? Have you tried with the numerical IP in ClientNameAlias?
Have you tried appending a :21 (as in "127.0.0.1:21")? Don't know if it makes
any difference (according to docs, both should work).
