Re: problem with reference archive path

Managed to fix this problem. I changed the reference_basename line to 
the following and it now works fine for me - not sure if it was a 
difference in sed on ubuntu or maybe dar writing a different archive 
filename that caused the problem

REFERENCE_BASENAME="--ref $(/bin/ls 
$DESTINATION/$REFERENCE_ARCHIVE/*.dar | head -n 1 | sed -e 
's/\.[0-9]*\.dar$//')"
