I'm in the process of learning python and migrating away from bash
scripting. I'm in the process of converting my bash scripts that
essentially ssh to another host via shared keys, execute commands
remotely, and exit. To do this I started using paramiko but eventually
decided to do it w/ subprocess since I am more familiar with that as a
result of me converting other scripts.
This is what I'm currently working on, the purpose of this is to ssh
into another machine, make a tarball of dumped .sql files, save the
tarball with the result of timestamp() as the naming convention, then it
will eventually clean it up based on file age:

This is the result after executing the script:
rev@omega:~/code/beavis/test$ ls
bleh1.sql bleh2.sql bleh3.sql ssh-jobs.py
rev@omega:~/code/beavis/test$ ./ssh-jobs.py
tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
/home/rev/code/beavis/test/bleh2.sql
/home/rev/code/beavis/test/bleh3.sql
tar: /home/rev/code/beavis/test/24.10.2012: Cannot stat: No such file or
directory
tar: 15\:06\:52.tgz: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
rev@omega:~/code/beavis/test$
As you can see it looks like its having issues with the way I'm using
timestamp() for string formatting, as far as I can tell it is not a tar
specific problem? Any help/insight on this would be greatly appreciated.
