No problem, I have the same problem for the past years ;-O

That seems very close to what I'm using in sbackup (anonimized version 
shown):

ssh://uname@xxxxxxxxxxxx/home/uname/xd/backup_note-uname

Except for the fact that I do include my verbatim password in the url, 
since that is stored in plain text in (ns)sbackup's config file. I have 
in stead set up passkeys for secure login without password (which works 
flawlessly with plain ssh/scp/sftp etc., and with sbackup).

Is this what nsbackup cannot handle? I don't think that is desired 
behaviour, for the reason mentioned above. I propose adding an 
additional schema (or modifying the existing one; I don't know how this 
works in detail) to accept 'ssh://user@server/my/folder/path/'.
(Where) Can I start fixing this?
