Comment 2 for bug 1309710

The patch in the debian git tree at http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/rsnapshot.git;a=blob;f=debian/patches/14_rsync_rsh_quoting.diff;h=d554a82d556f0bc5f9a4707eda66ebeb4caa48d8;hb=f22cb49a8d76c0856f9a6f66ab17fe436b298f2a solves the issue for me. I've tested ssh with args, ssh without args, and no ssh involved, and rsnapshot functions correctly.

I've uploaded a version of the rsnapshot package for testing to my personal ppa at https://launchpad.net/~sbeattie/+archive/ppa .
