This does not work as it is not possible to enter umlauts inside the
bbackupquery. Are there any compile time options which can affect this?

something like
bbackupquery 'cd home/samba/architektur/Präsentationen'
directly from the shell works perfectly.
but
bbackupquery 'ls home/samba/architektur/Vorlagen Büro'
gives me
Directory 'home/samba/architektur/Vorlagen' not found on store
I tried it with escaping the space with a \, but without effect.

So I have 2 problems: I cannot enter umlauts inside bbackupquery and I'm
not able to have a space in my path. Is there another escape-sequence or
workaround which I could try?

Thanks for your help,
Max
