hi:
ok. I will try to explain it in more detail. when using latest Ghetto to backup 5.0 U1, you can see result like below:
Logging output to "/tmp/ghettoVCB-2012-03-30_01-48-12.log" ...
Insufficient arguments.

please take a look at second line "Insufficient arguments." which should not be there.
that error message appears because the script logic has minor error, the reason is at my first post.
with older versions of ghettoVCB, there are no detection of the command format of "snapshot.remove",
so I never saw this error message before. (I upgrade ghettoVCB to latest version, because I found older version can not backup 5.0U1 which has new sanpshot.remove command format. that's why I saw this error message)
hope it is clear now. thank a lot for your patience!
