The reason I moved this file was that I didn't want users starting the
script from a browser (imagine 20 backups in a row).

That is good. I think we should adjust bobs to refuse running when the
default password has not been changed. Along with a message explaining
how to change it.

If you have any idea on how to add "make dist", I could try to add "make
rpm". I just did that on the filmgimp release and it's working.

I will need to implement the "delete files" part of bobs quite soon (I
only have 70 GB left on the incremental drive. So I'm going to need it
very soon.)=20

The error you have with the cmdloop output seems to be an malformed
mount command. Please try running the backup without running cmdloop.
The check the files in cmd/* and verify the mount commands.

Please let me know what mount type it is. I may have made a mistake when
doing the new templates for the shell scripts.
