Lets keep the discussion on the mailing list ... ... but I tried an experiment and changed --backup-dir to /archive2, and in this case the archive directory was created in the correct place (as /bak/rabbit/archive2 - you snipped that bit of my original message) (although I still got the permissions error and the file wasn't created).
