And ";" separates between pairs. (Again what I have now is all ontop of --backing-store) [BTW: "--bstype=VALUE" but "--backing-store VALUE" without the "=", so you can go either way] If you have the one value then do it like that. Just specify somewhere what are the illegal chars like you said ",". BTW: I do not think the coma parsing in tgt will interfere here because it will be a different case I think.
