It sounds like it is not finding bzip2 for some reason. Try creating the tar

don't think that's it, it consistently tells me it can't find the file
I'm trying to create:

p...@paulbox:~ $ sudo tar cjpf /backups/bkup/2010-02-11.tar.bz2
/home/paul/Desktop/
tar: /backups/bkup/2010-02-11.tar.bz2: Cannot open: No such file or directory

yes, like my reply above shows with or without the j I get an error
saying /backups/bkup/2010-02-11.tar.bz2 is missing and which bzip2,
correctly show
Thanks very much an extra '/' had worked it's way into my script and I
somehow didn't notice it said bkup/${date}, rather than bkup${date}.
