You need an account to create bugs, as noted on the home page of the wiki. 
I've created one for you and emailed you the details. If anyone else 
wishes to file bugs against Box Backup (not Boxi) please send a request to 
the mailing list and we'll create one for you.

I'm not sure what's going on with the character encodings here. Please 
could you send a screenshot of what you see in the terminal? Also, please 
could you try running bbackupquery with the "-u" option, and enabling a 
unicode font in your console (such as Lucida Console) to render 
international characters properly?

You need to use forward slashes, not backslashes, to separate directories 
in remote paths. Does that work for you?

Cheers, Chris.
