Re: Old syntax warning

[Eric Zolf]

Hi Robert,

it comes from the server side: unless you call the client side with 
`--api-version 201`, the server side is called with the old syntax.
After all, there is no way to know in advance if the other side will 
understand the new CLI, it could be rdiff-backup v2.0.5.

KR, Eric
