Thank you Nils for your help: I learned something!
Thing is.... is does not work for user backuppc!!! I keep getting
authentication failure (although this command works, I tried it with other
users on the system)
And now to add insult to injury, I get this error message: "Can't find
compress::zlib"
I think I'll start another thread on this one!

To get a bash shell as user backuppc (which normally doesn't have a
shell) you'd do something like the following:
# su -s /bin/bash - backuppc
(Use sudo where applicable. :o) )
