By the way, did you receive a:

error message?  We should always be generating that message, as per

Granted, finding stderr from cron jobs can be awkward.

No I did not get this error.

Besides my paths in fetched list of files (which were 
originally backed up by tarsnap-gui) were formed by chars 
like "§ ¶ ¬" etc.

The one done by my cron env (before I set LANG) converted those 
same file names to octal i.e the way FAQ example shows.
