if the goal is to have a script that back up to a remote machine, then there are probably simpler ways to do it. rsync can copy data over ssh, eg

rsync -az /home/sam remotehost:/backup/sam

(you will probably need to look at adding some exclude options to avoid backing up things like .thumbnails, the mozilla cache, and the .gvsf folder)
