Yes, the syntax is the same for all users. It doesn't magically become correct if you try as a different user. For what you would for unknown reasons have been wanting to do above, it would be (on Debian et al. with Perl rename a.k.a. prename) for example rename s/new/0/ /var/lib/backuppc/pc/momentumvserver.momentum.local/new Again, BackupPC does *not* use the Perl rename command, it uses the system call rename(2), accessible from within Perl as the builtin function rename. Don't confuse Perl rename command as having anything other to do with Perl than it coincidentally being implemented in Perl. That does *not* make independent Perl scripts (such as BackupPC or BackupPC_dump) magically use it.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Rename of directories error and other oddities...
After a test by su to backuppc user, i created a dir named new and then tried to rename it, i got this error... backuppc@locutus:~/pc/momentumvserver.momentum.local$ rename /var/lib/backuppc/pc/momentumvserver.momentum.local/new /var/lib/backuppc/pc/momentumvserver.momentum.local/0 Having no space between pattern and following word is deprecated at (eval 1) line 1. Bareword found where operator expected at (eval 1) line 1, near /var/lib (Missing operator before b?) Search pattern not terminated at (eval 1) line 1. As backup[PC user or as root i get the same error?? Problem with the rename command?

BackupPC doesn't use /usr/bin/rename, it uses the Perl rename() function named after the system call. Actually, /usr/bin/rename is a Perl script. I'm not sure about the syntax, but I vaguely remember it's intended for renaming several files, applying a Perl regexp substitution to the file names, so you've likely just got the syntax wrong (the manual page seems to agree with that assumption). What does the corresponding 'mv' command give you? I'd guess you've got some sort of permission problem, possibly SElinux-related. What file system type is your pool on?

Not quite true... On debian systems, 'rename' is indeed a perl script calling the perl rename function. Interestingly, usr/bin/rename is a link to /etc/alternatives/rename which in turn is a link to /usr/bin/prename (where presumably the 'p' stands for Perl) On Fedora/Centos/Cygwin, 'rename' is a (standard) linux binary utility in the standard util-linux (Linux utility) package. The usage (unfortunately) is *not* the same... which is a pita since I have needed to modify my scripts depending on what linux distro they are running on... -- Is your legacy SCM system holding you back?
