Log level setting doesn't work... /var/log/messages always filled with INFO

It seems that the log level settings in the profiles doesn't do anything, I change it to any of the levels, when cron launches backintime for my profiles, /var/log/messages always contain this:

Feb 3 08:45:01 jfddesk backintime (jfdagenais): INFO: Lock

...

this is what the profile contains:
profile2.snapshots.log_level=1
which translates to "errors" in the GUI if I am not mistaken.
