ssh-options not taking effect with rsync-backend

[Stefan Hoth]

Hi,

I'm using duply ( http://duply.net )to backup my files and wrap up some of the complexity of duplicity.

Using my configuration of duply the command creates this call (obfuscated):

duplicity collection-status --name 'duply_hidrive' --encrypt-key ABCABCAB --sign-key ABCABCAB --verbosity '6' --gpg-options '--compress-algo=bzip2 --bzip2-compress-level=9' --exclude-if-present 'exclude' --full-if-older-than 7D --volsize 50 --ssh-options="-oIdentityFile=/root/.ssh/otherkey" rsync://<email address hidden>/users/someuser/somedir/backups

My problem: the --ssh-options are ignored by duplicity and the resulting rsync call looks like this:

rsync -e 'ssh -oBatchMode=yes' <email address hidden>/users/someuser/somedir/backups

As you can see the identityFile-option was not integrated into the rsync-call. I think this is a bug.

duply version 1.5.5.4
duplicity version 0.6.17,
python 2.5.2,
gpg 1.4.9 (Home: ~/.gnupg),
awk 'GNU Awk 3.1.5',
bash '3.2.39(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)'.
debian lenny on 2.6.26-2-amd64

Thanks,
Stefan
