[rsnapshot-discuss] backups no longer working after upgrade from 1.3.1 to 1.4.1

[Sonic]

One of the backup lines in my rsnapshot.conf used an alternate port
for an rsync module:

backup --port=874 host::module destination/

Which worked fine with 1.3.1 now fails with:
rsync: --port=874 host:module: invalid numeric value
=====================================
/usr/bin/rsync -av --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded \
--port=874 host::module /mnt/saved/test/daily.0/destdir/
rsync: --port=874 host::module: invalid numeric value
rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(1554) [client=3.1.1]
=====================================

Alternate methods also fail:
backup host::module destination/ +rsync_long_args="--port=874"
=====================================
/usr/bin/rsync -av --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded \
host::module /mnt/saved/test/daily.0/destdir/ \
+rsync_long_args="--port=874"
@ERROR: Unknown module 'module'
=====================================
seems the port change does not get passed to rsync

backup rsync:://host:874/module destdir/
=====================================
/usr/bin/rsync -av --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded \
rsync:://host:874/module /mnt/saved/test/daily.0/destdir/
ERROR: The remote path must start with a module name not a /
rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at
main.c(1635) [Receiver=3.1.1]
=====================================
a problem I don't get when running the rsync command manually (but
this fails the same way with 1.3.1)

Make sure you separate things with tabs, not spaces.

Then make sure your editor didn't convert tabs to spaces.

Did not help with the original syntax that worked with 1.3.1:
backup --port=874 host::module destination/

But it did allow the alternate syntax to work:
backup host::module destination/ +rsync_long_args="--port=874"

Thanks!
