Hm. Well I thought I found the problem (I couldn't ssh to [EMAIL PROTECTED] without getting a password prompt) but after I fixed that the problem still remained. Ratz!
Here's the restorecmd: $Conf{TarClientRestoreCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l root $host /usr/bin/env LC_ALL=C $tarPath -x -p --numeric-owner --same-owner -v -f - -C $shareName+'; Now I've been going through some of the variables.. sshpath is set in localhost.pl: $Conf{SshPath} = '/usr/bin/ssh -p 1234'; (yes we run sshd on another port) $tarPath is just /bin/tar as usual.. $host is localhost..
