Morning,

I think I've found a bug in BackupPC 3.2 (beta0 and beta1). I seem to recall 
this being an issue in BackupPC 3.1 as well. 

If you do not tunnel over ssh, local backup paths with spaces fail due to both 
quoting and escaping.

For example:

/path/with space/in it/

$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = /usr/bin/sudo $rsyncPath $argList+


rsync attempts to change directory into "/path/with\ space/in\ it/"

The double quotes cause the \ to be interpreted literally as well as the space. 
Here's a typical error entry in XferLOG.bad.z:

Remote[1]: rsync: change_dir "/path/with\ space/in\ it/" failed: No such file 
or directory (2)

Cheers,

-james
