No longer seems to work in Big Sur #8

Am not sure this is still being updated, but: after upgrading to Big Sur (currently running 11.1), running the 2.0.0 script results in no backups being deleted, despite being identified as falling into the cleanup criteria:

sandra@imac ~ % sudo tm-cleanup.sh -d 30

I suspect this is a result of a change in Big Sur tmutil command as described in this Apple Discussions thread (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252036574):

The Big Sur syntax appears to have changed, but you need to specify the volume and the timestamp with -d and -t:
sudo tmutil delete -d /Volumes/Time\ Machine -t 2020-11-18-100936

Thanks!
