filter with pipe, bogus message

[Allan Wind]

First, thanks for bringing us lire (1.1 in my case)!  I am trying to
work around an issue with boa[1] and therefor need a filter with a
pipe as follows from www.daily.combined.1.local:

superservice=www
service=combined
log=/var/log/boa/access.log.1.gz
filter="(zcat | sed 's/[^ ]* \(.*\)/\1/')"
if test -r /etc/lire/cron.defaults.local
then
    . /etc/lire/cron.defaults.local
fi

which, when run, result in the following error:

Feb 10 01:33:32 pawan lire: bogus message: /usr/bin/lr_run: line 48:
(zcat | sed 's/[^ ]* (.*)/1/'): No such file or directory

as lr_run has the following magic (suggest documenting that one):

"$@" 2>&1 1>&3 3>&- | {

Why is $@ quoted?  Can you suggest a work-around so I can get the effect
of the above filter without having to hack lr_run?

[1] boa breaks combined format when using virtual hosts in that the IP
of the interface is prefixed.
