Yeah, I saw that. Unfortunately we have tiered storage and hence two 
tablespaces. :(

To be fair, my current process cheats by following symlinks. I haven't 
yet modified it to explicitly handle tablespaces. I'll probably just 
steal the directory method pg_basebackup uses until it can natively call 
an external compression program.

Thanks, Magnus!
