Hm, this seems quite impossible. What the above says is this:
psql thinks that something or someone gave it the command
line arguments "name", "for", "example", "gnumed_v15", like
if one would say:
$> psql -name for -example -gnumed_v15
However, the script itself does not contain those strings at
all ! So, it needs to come from elsewhere. Ha, wait, let's
take a look at this:

Here it is reading the config file ...
... which contains:
# which database to backup
GM_DATABASE="current database name, for example gnumed_v15"
So, one needs to configure the backup for backup.
I have changed the default database name to say
database_to_backup__for_example_gnumed_v15
