correct. The regular expression used for checking the validity of a share
name in BackupPC_tarCreate 2.1.1-2sarge2 (which is the closest to 2.1.2-6
I've come across) does not allow ampersands. That's a bug which is fixed in
BackupPC 3.0.0 (possibly earlier).
Change line 128 of BackupPC_tarCreate:
- if ( $opts{s} !~ /^([\w\s\.\/\$-]+)$/ && $opts{s} ne "*" ) {

Are you suspecting he's got a command named Documents&Settings in the path
that outputs the correct share name to stdout? :-)
