quoting the default config file (explaining the TarClientCmd configuration value): # If a variable is followed by a "+" it is shell escaped. This is # necessary for the command part of ssh or rsh, since it ends up # getting passed through the shell. In other words: any part of a configuration value that will be *parsed by a shell* must be accordingly quoted to protect meta-characters like '*' or ' ' from being misinterpreted. For verbatim text, you add backslashes as you need them. For interpolated variables, the "+" at the end (as in "$argList+") does this for you.
