No, $filelist is not a recognized substitution, so BackupPC
thinks you really want a literal '$filelist' in the argument
list, so the '$' is backslash escaped. In contrast, $fileList
gets replaced with the file list.

$fileList is automatically generated from $Conf{BackupFilesOnly}.
Spaces in those names should be correctly passed to the Xfer
method without the need for additional escaping. If you manually
put file names directly into the Xfer command then you need to
escape them.
