SOCKET= being ignored?

[VTMusic]

Even if I explicitly set SOCKET="/private/tmp/mysql.sock", AutoMySQLBackup appears to be using the default (unset) value of  '/var/mysql/mysql.sock':

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/mysql/mysql.sock'

if I symlink '/private/tmp/mysql.sock' into '/var/mysql/' it works fine, so theres an easy work-around.   is

   SOCKET="/private/tmp/mysql.sock"

the correct syntax for setting this?

THanks.
