I see, but that was the latest version the opensuse build repositories offer.
I'll try to compile form source.

Ok, I understand that. Getting quoting right for different shells is more

We had similiar problems in configuring a host with a bunch of ssh commands.
Our solution was to create a bash script with all the neccessary code on 
the client side on the fly, copy it over to the target host and execute it 
there. Could that be solution here?
