Just tried the script for the first time. At first I had two error messages because I did not have the directories ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Sources and ~/Documents/SMS Backup. After creating both manually everything worked fine. The error messages the script threw were only half helpful here. Not sure if you care.
And then I think I found an error in line 316: my $timestr = strftime ("%a %b %d %I:%m %p", @lt);
%m is numerical month, not minute, which is %M.
Goofy question: can this work with an encrypted backup? I don't see a way now, and I'd believe the answer is "no, Apple does some undocumented bullshit^Wmagic to keep me from seeing that", but it's worth a question.
Specifically, I get this after it says "sms-backup-iphone.pl: SMS DBs:" and decides to open the first file:

Thanks! Ugh, that %M bug is annoying...
Took me a minute before I figured out that you were purposefully blocking my wget/curl actions while I tried to dump it into my home dir.
