Just to summarize our off-list discussion and resolution: for the
local host backup/restore using sudo, "argList+" (which denotes
shell escaping of the argList) should be replaced by "argList"
(no shell escaping of the argList).
So this setting:
$Conf{RsyncClientRestoreCmd} = '/usr/bin/sudo $rsyncPath $argList+';
should instead be:
$Conf{RsyncClientRestoreCmd} = '/usr/bin/sudo $rsyncPath $argList';
