mkjfsback wrong syntax

Question:

Env:
  AIX 3.2.5
  RISC 590
  Sysback 3.3.1.6

Desc:
  Did a filesystem backup in smit using the process indicator flag.
The command echo this:

mkjfsback -x -f/dev/rmt0 -x -l1 -M /usr/lpp/sysback/images

Why is there two -x flags.  The command ran without errors.

You are partly right. Actually, the progress indicator option should not
actually appear in SMIT. The PI is used by default, since there is no
way to list files during the filesystem backup anyway.

Here's what I did:
1) Changed the SMIT prompt to "Show progress indicator?" and 
   allow user to select yes or no (yes is default).

2) Applied the same changes to the LV backups, since the same 
   thing applies.

If the user selected "file list" from SMIT, it would fail with 
a syntax error since the "-v" option is not actually supported.

Next Action:
  Fix added to sysback 3.3.1.8
