Public bug reported:
The TarIncrArgs config parameter, which is defined as
$Conf{TarIncrArgs} = '--newer=$incrDate+ $fileList';
expands to --newer=2014-05-25 02:00:00 ..filelist..
resulting in tar trying to make sense of the meaningless argument 02:00:00.
This of course is a critical flaw, causing all tar incremental backups to fail.
I am not sure where the 'best' fix is, but it seems that Tar.pm controls the
format of the datestring, so it should be quoting the results.
diff Tar.pm Tar.pm.orig
