Yeah, I tried something along those lines..
I took the "ssh" line and plunked it into a file then ran it..
ie: here is the content of the file
ssh -l backup bilbo.mydomain.ca cd "/usr/home" && sudo find -E . -depth ! -fstype nfs ! -fsty
pe smbfs ! -fstype bind ! -fstype proc ! -fstype devpts ! -fstype devfs ! -fstype tmpfs ! -ty
pe s -print0 | sudo tar --create --null --files-from=- --ignore-failed-read --same-permission
s --no-recursion --totals --label "level 0 bilbo.mydomain.ca:/usr/home Thu Feb 12 10:39:02 20
04 tar+gzip from gollum.mydomain.ca" --verbose --sparse -b 20 --file - | sudo gzip -4; x=(${P
[EMAIL PROTECTED]); i=0; while [ $i -lt [EMAIL PROTECTED] ]; do [ ${x[$i]} -eq 0 ] || exit ${x[$i]}; i=$((
$i+1)); done
Then i ran it "sh foo.sh" and got
-su-2.05b$ sh foo.sh foo.sh: 1: Syntax error: Bad substitution
Soooo I took out the first part [the ssh command] and just started the script with the "sudo tar" line. I put this modified version on bilbo and tried to run it and got the exact same error.
So i tink the error must be that chunk in the end, but i don't know shell scripting very well so i'm kinda lost.

i think i found it. tar on freebsd does not support --no-recursion yet it does support -norecurse
are these intended to be the same thing ?
What version of FreeBSD are you using? In FreeBSD 5.1-current (I'm too lazy to upgrade to 5.2 just yet) I see:
-n, --norecurse --no-recursion avoid descending automatically in directories
Seems to be the same thing.
All I can offer as advice to debug is try logging into bilbo as "backup" and try running the find command itself. That's about the only thing you can do is try to isolate what is dying piece-meal.
