Evolution initialises the X display very early on in the application, so
if you try and execute it without a DISPLAY being defined it fails.  No
doubt the evolution-backup executable does the same thing since I
suspect it is based on the same code.

I'm not sure that the evolution-backup executable is designed to be run
by the user - isn't it just called by the main evolution application
when a backup is required?
