Cancel backup does not work (as superuser)

[jhoechtl]

Sbackup 0.11.4, Kubuntu 13.04.

Terminating a running backup using the tray icon does not work. I am prompted for my password but sbackup keeps telling me I entered a wrong password.

This is not a Capslock issue! It's the same password I entered when starting sbackup or the password I use to restore a backup

I get a popup with an error message:

Failed to run /usr/share/sbackup/sbackup-terminate '32571' as user root.
The underlying authorisation mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program. Contact the system administrator.
[Close]

'sudo kill 32571' from the terminal also doesn't work; it has no apparent effect. 'kill -9' does work, but I then also need to manually kill the other processes associated with sbackup.

Oh, that's sbackup 0.11.6 on Ubuntu 12.04.

Confirmed. Is related to security policies.

Also having this issue, but for me running the command sudo /usr/share/sbackup/sbackup-terminate with the given number in quotes on a terminal does cancel the backup
