Thanks for the response.

This cgi script is simply a perl script that can be run just as readily from
the
shell as it can from cron or a web page.  In this instance, the file is
added
to /etc/cron.daily automatically when you schedule a backup with the Cobalt
GUI, and that's how the backup works.

When the backup runs, either from cron or manually, I get the Unexpected EOF
error cited about 90 seconds into the process.
