Probably you are using dash instead bash. Try "ls -lh /bin/bash". I would 
believe it is a softlink to /bin/dash. To resolve the problem you can 
install bash (e.g. apt-get install bash) and run BackupPC_deleteBackup 
again.

Another way is to reduce the amount of stored old backups. See 
$Conf{FullKeepCnt} as well as $Conf{IncrKeepCnt}.

But I would propose to add disk capacity. Because of pooling (file 
deduplication) by backuppc I would believe that your storage requirements 
will be reduced by removing hosts but not by removing backups.
