Fatal error: bpipe plugin: Error closing stream for pseudo file file: 268435664

Running Bareos 14.2.2 on CentOS 7

03-Jun 10:17 backup-director-fd JobId 36: Fatal error: bpipe plugin: Error closing stream for pseudo file file: 268435664

After finding this thread ( http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.backup.bareos.user/571 ... gmane used to be easier to browse.), and several iterations of my script, and even insertion of logger(1) commands into my script not showing anything in syslog, I decided to try just having bareos run /bin/true ... and I get the same error.

In the information below, you can see the bpipe plugin loaded, that the script executed returned 0, and then the titular error message is reported. So I really don't know where to go from here. Help?

Following the information collection suggested here ( http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.backup.bareos.user/971 ):

From bareos-fd.conf:

FileDaemon {                          # this is me

  Name = backup-director-fd

  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20

  Plugin Directory = /usr/lib64/bareos/plugins

  compatible = no

}

From running bareos-fd in the foreground with tracing:

I found this bug report: https://bugs.bareos.org/view.php?id=422

Noting that it was noted as a child of a ticket for releasing bareos 14.2.4, and that I'm running 14.2.2-something, I figured I'd try the workaround listed here: https://bugs.bareos.org/view.php?id=422#c1254

... and that seems to be the problem I'm facing; removing "$argname=" from each argument results in a "Backup OK" for some stupid simple test arguments. So I suppose what I need at this point is for Bareos's Cent7 yum repos at http://download.bareos.org/bareos/release/14.2/CentOS_7/ to get updated to 14.2.4 or better.

Meanwhile, I'll trudge along and get things working with the workaround. Thanks!
