For security reasons, BackupPC doesn't use a shell to run any of the external commands, including DumpPreUserCmd. It uses fork() and exec(). It does split the string you provide at spaces (but doesn't understand quoting). Or you can set those commands to an array - the first entry is the full path to the command, and the remaining entries are the arguments (eg, the array is argv).
But the examples you gave should work. Could you tell us exactly what's in the config file setting for DumpPreUserCmd? You said you set it to '/bin/bash -c /bin/touch /tmp/test.txt'; if you did that in the CGI then you shouldn't use the outermost quotes.
