Public bug reported: Binary package hint: rsnapshot
When you use the cmd_ssh and the ssh_args options to pass options to the ssh command (e.g. a private key), rsnapshot is not quoting the ssh command with its options when generating the "--rsh=" rsync option. Thus, the ssh_args are passed to rsync rather than to ssh and it doesn't work. After discovering this, I made a small modification to the rsnapshot script and it is working. Then I downloaded the original .tar.gz from http://www.rsnapshot.org/downloads/?M=D and I noticed that the bug has been fixed in release 1.3.1 (hardy is at 1.2.9, and I see that intrepid and jaunty are at 1.3.0). The patch is quite stupid and only adds double quotes around the ssh command and its options (which, incidentally, is the same that was done in upstream 1.3.1).
