this is output generated by your shell startup process. Non-interactive shells
should probably never generate *any* output (except perhaps on fatal errors),
as this will commonly lead to problems (not only within BackupPC).

As it turned out, in that case it was something different (though in your
case the above may apply).

There are other commands (and shells and startup processes ...) that could
lead to the same problem, but these two examples might give you a hint what
to look for.
