Your best option is to add an additional argument between the
variable substitutions, eg:

        $Conf{ArchivePostUserCmd} = '/path_to_my_script/backup-offsite 
$HostList -l $BackupList';

You can use shift in your bash script to read off each parameter
and use "-l" to distinguish the backup list.
