Hello Eric,

Yes when I've change the script to:
==========
cd $backupdest
tar -C $backupdest \
    -czf $backupdest/$curlfile $DATENAME-* > /dev/null 2>&1
==========

The script worked correctly.
It look like the last $DATENAME-* don't work with the tar command on
this way.

$ touch /tmp/testfile.txt
$ tar -C /tmp -czf /tmp/test.tgz testfile*
tar: testfile*: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

While it will work when I use the next command
$ tar -C /tmp -czf /tmp/test.tgz testfile.txt

There are more backup files not correct:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root        46 Apr  7 06:35
201404070635-squirrelmail-plugins.tar.bz2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root        46 Apr  7 06:35
201404070635-squirrelmail-prefs.tar.bz2
These to are empty tar files.

Regards,
Peter
