** Description changed:

  I copied and pasted the address from a working Nautilus window, but
  NSSBackup won't accept it as a remote destination:
  
      sftp://username@hostname/media/partitionname/Ubuntu%20backups
  
  I get the error
  
      Failed : Couldn't mount 'sftp://username@hostname/' into
  '/mnt/nssbackup/sftp_username@hostname' : Error connecting to ftp:
  Couldn't resolve host 'sftp:'
  
- This used to work in sbackup.
+ This used to work in Sbackup.
+ 
+ Note that it actually tries to create a directory
+ /mnt/nssbackup/sftp_username, which seems very kludgy.  Ubuntu uses
+ /media, not /mnt, so it created /mnt, too, the only thing in /mnt is
+ nssbackup.  Shouldn't it be used GVFS for this?
+ 
+ Also, it goes ahead and creates this directory even though the
+ destination fails to mount, so if you try to enter
+ ftp://user:pass@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/, you'll get a new directory at
+ /mnt/nssbackup/ftp_user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/.  Is this directory permanent?
+ This seems wrong.
+ 
+     Failed : Couldn't mount 'ftp.google.com' into
+ '/mnt/nssbackup/ftp_user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx' : Error connecting to ftp:
+ Couldn't resolve host 'ftp.google.com'
  
  It would be best if there were some kind of file browser that would let
  me select local or remote destinations graphically, and provide the
  username and password in separate boxes if necessary.
