If the controller is installed on a different machine,
the postgresql backuper wont work because it needs the
postgres binaries (i.e., pg_dump).  This means an
*identical* version of postgres needs to be installed
(the reason why the versions needs to be the same is
because the pg_dump will complain about it unless a -i
parameter is passed onto it).

Here is the log (from full_cluster.log)
2007-09-26 19:49:26,093 INFO 
backup.backupers.NativeCommandExec Starting execution

In summary the following should be an ideal design:
The backuper should use the binary on the database
server.  This also simplifies the installation
(install postgres on the db node only), as well as
eliminates the version problem.

If that is not possible, at least allowing to pass
extra parameters to the backuper would be a temporary
solution.
