$PATH being ignored by autorestic

[ilium007]

autorestic does not seem to have access to $PATH when calling restic or ssh binaries. I am running a hook script after a Proxmox backup and I have output '$PATH' and $(which ssh) and the ssh binary is in the correct path. It seems that autorestic is ignoring the system $PATH env variable. While I was able to use the --restic-bin option and hard code the restic path (also in an accessible $PATH) it is now falling over on ssh.

Expected behavior

Environment

• OS: Debian 12
• Version: [e.g. 22]

Hook script that calls autorestic (and produces output below):

#!/bin/bash

PVE_NODE="$(hostname)"
LOG_FILE="/mnt/ext_usb_01/$PVE_NODE.log"

if [ "$1" == "job-start" ]; then
  printf "$(date) PVE hook script start ($PVE_NODE) - $(pveversion)\n" | tee $LOG_FILE
  printf "PATH: $PATH\n" | tee -a $LOG_FILE
  printf "WHICH SSH: $( which ssh)\n" | tee -a $LOG_FILE
fi

if [ "$1" == "job-end" ]; then
  printf "PATH: $PATH\n" | tee -a $LOG_FILE
  printf "WHICH SSH: $( which ssh)\n" | tee -a $LOG_FILE
  /usr/local/bin/autorestic -c /root/.autorestic.yml --restic-bin /usr/local/bin/restic backup --verbose --all 2>&1 | tee -a $LOG_FILE
  printf "$(date) PVE hook script finish ($PVE_NODE)\n" | tee -a $LOG_FILE
fi

Output:
