Of course, how dumb of me! Let me back up here for a
second ... the reason why I tried running it by hand
was because when I did an actual commit, the
post-commit hook didn't seem to run (no output
appeared in the backup directory) and I wasn't sure
how to troubleshoot the problem.

So now I've tried running it from the command line
with actual arguments (duh!) and the error became
obvious -- it was a permissions problem in the backup
destination directory.

Thanks very much for the help ...
Toni
