Arse, I missed that bit. I forgot to change the shell script I wrote as 
a wrapper for testing different revisions, as it was only running the 
backupstore test (the main failure on FreeBSD).

Do you think there will be a way around this, or should we just back the 
change out completely? Given that the patches are mainly for the FreeBSD 
port's cleanliness I'm perfectly happy to just maintain these patches 
for the port and fudge a way around the exec permission in the Makefile.

Yeah, I wasn't sure how to handle this, as like you say they're in 
different places depending on svn or release.
