[rdiff-backup-users] Bug in Rdiff-backup 1.1.15

[JOHNb]

It appears that rdiff-backup is escaping out the ';' escape character in certain instances.

This happens on a redhat linux 7 server connecting to a OS X 10.5 box, both are running rdiff-backup 1.1.15.

I’ve managed to get it to happen in two instances: --remove-older-than and --list-at-time


Any thoughts on how to fix this?

Thanks -

PS – this is my first post on the list, so please be gentle if I’ve heinously violated some unknown-to-me list rule.


Below are the commands I issued (minus the server names) and the error messages that followed.
