BackupPC doesn't use a shell to execute the commands (which is why
you need a full path for the executable). So quoting doesn't work.
If you specify a string it simply breaks at white space, as you
discovered.
Instead you can specify an array to specify exactly what the
arguments are, eg:
$Conf{DumpPreUserCmd} = ['/path/to/ssh.sh', 'var 1', 'var2'];
This is true for any Cmd configuration variable.
Note to self: that array form isn't supported by the config editor.
I'll have to figure out what to do about that...
