[Xymon] backticks not working in client-local.cfg

[Michael Beatty]

You don't need to do the date calculation in the analysis, just need to 
provide the regular expression to match it.

The client-local.cfg is telling your client what data to send, but 
supply the date string in the "find" statement, the client is going 
going to return data from those files.  So once the data gets to the 
server, it will only be for today's data.  For example, the client data 
will only have.

/mnt/logs/access.2013-04-12.log

So your regex in analysis.cfg only needs
  LOG %/mnt/logs/access\.[0-9]*-[0-9]*-[0-9]*\.log
