svn-fast-backup -- how to use remote destination?

[michael <cs@networkingnewsletter.org.uk>]

I tried to see if `svn-fast-backup` would perform backup to a remote
computer (as per rsync syntax) but it seems to fail (see below)...
anybody got any insights? Is this something worth asking for? 
Thanks, Michael
