Yes, I am aware of that typo - thanks

Are you using an old version? The code in the latest version posted is
significantly different.
The logic of the code is that if you are running with
$USERNAME=SYSTEM (for example if you logged on via SSH which is what
usually happens when using BackupPC), then you need the kluge of
calling 'at' first before recursing back into this script to give you
the user authority to run vshadow. Otherwise, you can just recurse
directly back into this script.

Try to find the latest version. Alternatively, I hope to post an
updated version soon on the wiki.
