Unrecognized escape error in shares.pl

["Linder, Doug (SABIC Innovative Plastics, consultant)" <Doug.Linder (at) sabic-ip.com>]

I've searched the archive and not found anything about this.
 
Every five minutes, the root account on this system gets another copy of
the mail below.  I've triple-chekced and the bb4 user does NOT have any
cron jobs.  Despite the name we are running Hobbit and not BB.
 
Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be?  This tends to fill
up the mail spool...
