backups

I am using automongobackup to, well, automate the backups of mongodb.

output from the script (to STDERR) has the following exceptions (but the backup completes, and the dump files are created)

###### WARNING ######
STDERR written to during mongodump execution. 
The backup probably succeeded, as mongodump sometimes writes to STDERR, but you may wish to scan the error log below:
exception: connect failed
exception: connect failed
exception: connect failed
exception: connect failed
exception: HostAndPort: bad port #
exception: connect failed
exception: connect failed
exception: connect failed
exception: connect failed
exception: connect failed
exception: connect failed

I know that the Host & Port are correct.

If I run mongodump --host=127.0.0.1:27017 --journal (which is the effective command from automongobackup based on the options set and my reading of the src code) everything runs clean without any error reporting and the dump files are created as expected.

Why would automongobackup report connection errors, even tho it does create the dump files, yet a straight call to mongodump does not?

Debian 6.0 Lenny (from Linode image: Latest 3.2 (3.2.1-x86_64-linode23))
AutoMongoBackup VER 0.9
mongodb v 2.0.2
