I'm running BackupPC 3.2.1 on a Ubuntu 12.04 linux distribution.

I've created a custom perl file for one of my hosts (through the web 
interface) to disable backups during the day, and only allow them to be 
queued at night.  However, backups are still being queued in disallowed 
times.

Under "Schedule" on the host's config options in the web interface, I 
have the following:
BlackoutPeriods:
Override (checked)
hourBegin 8
hourEnd 17
weekDays 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

There are spaces after the commas in weekDays

In the perl file for the host, I have the following (direct copy):
$Conf{BlackoutPeriods} = [
   {
     'hourEnd' => '17',
     'weekDays' => [
       1,
       2,
       3,
       4,
       5
     ],
     'hourBegin' => '8'
   }
];

However, I had a backup begin at 10:00 after making these changes.

What do I need to do differently?
