Comment:

 After debugging on IRC, we found an old, pre-config.xml-changes
 mythconverg_backup.pl in the user's PATH that was being executed.  The
 reason the 0.26-version backup script worked properly before creating the
 bug was because its path was specified directly (ensuring the right script
 was run).  At this point, both 0.26- and master-/0.27-version backup
 scripts were confirmed to work properly.

 Since make install installs the backup and restore scripts to the share
 dir, and not to any bin dirs, the copy of the old script in the bin
 directory wasn't overwritten.  Users wanting to make the backup script
 accessible without specifying its full path may want to use a link in the
 bin directory to ensure they're always using the current version of the
 script.
