As you discovered, for security reasons BackupPC doesn't use a
shell to execute any external commands.  Therefore, any shell
constructs like redirection, pipes, semicolon separated commands
etc don't work for any of the *Cmd config parameters.

Nils' advice is correct: you need to use a script to run a shell.
