You do have 2.5?

I have 2.5 and have the same problem, but it's worth checking I guess.

There are some differences between the routines used for rotating  
weekly backup depending on whether you use a separate directory for  
each db or whether all db's are in one. I use the separate directory  
setting, I think there is a bug with that...

At line 539:

eval rm -fv "$BACKUPDIR/weekly/$DB_week.$REMW.*"

ought to be:

eval rm -fv "$BACKUPDIR/weekly/${DB}_week.$REMW.*"

Because in the former the variable name will be $DB_week. which  
doesn't exist, rather than $DB which is the db name being used. I'll  
give this change a shot. But I'm a shell scripting noob so use it at  
your own risk!
