To anyone interested: I found and fixed a bug in plpbackup.cc - my Series 7 has a machine UID with a leading zero. Unfortunately this puts a space character in the directory name created for that machine's backup files, which causes tar to barf.
The fix is simple and obvious: In generateBackupName() the sprintf(nbuf, ...) format string should specify %016llx rather than %16llx for the machine UID. With that fix, backups work fine for me.
Thanks to everyone who has worked on plptools!
