Curtis-

Dennis' postscript is correct.
i.e., it is *not* possible to run "bpbackup -i" from a remote host 
unless the master server thinks that host is a media server.

Otherwise, bprd logs an error saying,

    "<hostname> is not a valid server for manual backup request"

You're right that a normal "bpbackup" can be run from any host...
And you're ALSO right that you can't run "bpbackup -i" as a non-root or 
non-admin user...

2 out of 3 ain't bad.   ;-)
