Done as originally posted.

I saw that Robert added documentation and it already reads correctly I 
believe, except possibly an unrelated issue:

8<--------------
      <para>
       A role which replication whose privileges users are required to 
possess
       in order to make use of the <literal>shell</literal> backup target.
       If this is not set, any replication user may make use of the
       <literal>shell</literal> backup target.
      </para>
8<--------------

Robert, should that actually be:
  s/role which replication/role with replication/
?

Joe
