I've just noticed that I have the same error when running my weekly e-mail 
backup. The command I use is:
 	dsync -v -u $USER backup -P mdbox:/secure/$USER/mdbox

which resulted in
 	backup: invalid option -- 'E'

I don't use, nor do I know of, any such option.

When can we expect a 2.3.18 fixing this? (or, is it advisable to downgrade to 
2.3.16?).

Thanks in advance,
Bernardo
