Problem with "Creating backend with remote" in log

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

i noticed some log entries that i think should not be there.
the ones with prefix Creating backend with remote and suffix .bin
what is strange is i am using a crypted remote with file name encryption off which adds .bin as a suffix to the filename, but should not add it to the remote:path.

the command does seem to work correctly as there are no remote:paths created with that .bin suffix

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

rclone v1.53.3
- os/arch: windows/amd64
- go version: go1.15.5

Which OS you are using and how many bits (eg Windows 7, 64 bit)

win10.2004.64

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

wasabi

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

rclone.exe  sync  "b:\server02crypt_20201127.101003\Dell_OEM"     server02crypt:server02/server02crypt/rclone/backup    --stats=0 --fast-list --progress --s3-chunk-size=256M --backup-dir=server02crypt:server02/server02crypt/rclone/archive/20201127.101003   --log-level=DEBUG --log-file=C:\data\rclone\logs\server02crypt\20201127.101003\server02crypt_20201127.101003_rclone.log`

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

[wasabi-barantec-west-1]
type = s3
provider = Wasabi
access_key_id = ???
secret_access_key = ???
endpoint = s3.us-west-1.wasabisys.com

[server02crypt]
type = crypt
remote = wasabi-barantec-west-1:server02crypt
directory_name_encryption = false
password = *** ENCRYPTED ***
password2 = *** ENCRYPTED ***
filename_encryption = off

A log from the command with the -vv flag

This is rclone trying to work out if the arguments are files or directories. What it does is try to see if it is a file (hence the .bin) and if not then assumes it is a directory.

that makes sense even though the log entries are confusing; no big deal.
thanks
