Description:
The help text reads:

BACKUP_DIR will be set in the environment of the utility
to the directory that contains the backup (a subdirectory
of the specified BACKUP-ROOT-DIR). For example:
--exec-when-locked='mysqldump mydb t1 > $BACKUP_DIR/t1.sql'
Note the single quotes that prevent your shell from
interpreting $BACKUP_DIR before starting mysqlbackup.

This is only true for unix type machines.

In Windows machines, it should read  --exec-when-locked="mysqldump %BACKUP_DIR%"
using DOUBLE quotes only.

How to repeat:
mysqlbackup --help.

Suggested fix:
change the help text.
