this is the first SLES12SP2 System I tried. The others were CentOS, Ubuntu 
and Debian.

 # sha256sum /usr/local/bin/borg-linux64-1.0.9
9fa23310aa8b08a5d7427970250d9ec0f9512b03bbac32659079df8ae1031764 
/usr/local/bin/borg-linux64-1.0.9

there's a symlink to this binary in /usr/local/bin/borg

tried and that one's better:
# borg-linux64-1.0.10rc1 init ssh://testmachine
usage: borg-linux64-1.0.10rc1 init [-h] [--critical] [--error] [--warning]
                                   [--info] [--debug] [--lock-wait N]
                                   [--show-rc] [--no-files-cache] [--umask 
M]
                                   [--remote-path PATH]
                                   [-e {none,keyfile,repokey}] [-a]
                                   [REPOSITORY]
borg-linux64-1.0.10rc1 init: error: argument REPOSITORY: Invalid location 
format: "ssh://testmachine"

The py321-debug one does it right too.

Yes - I'm also confused - I used borg on quite a lot of systems and this 
is the first that's having this problem. Maybe some environment variable 
influencing this that's only set on this system? I didn't find a clue 
yet...
