Keep uses rdiff-backup as a backend and rdiff-backup doesn't understand the fish URI format. In order to backup to a remote location over SSH you need to use an identifier like: [USER@]MACHINE::/full/path/to/dir

Perhaps then the bug should be changed to "Make keep use Kio-slaves". I would wait until KDE4.0 to see if this is still present.
