Time Machine using StartCalendarInterval

I want Time Machine (via com.apple.backupd-auto.plist) to use StartCalendarInterval to do weekly backup only. This works on 10.6.8. Having migrated to 10.11.2, I cannot get this modified plist to work. System Log reports: (com.apple.xpc.launchd.domain.system): Could not parse plist: path = /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.backupd-auto.plist, error = 109: Invalid property list. (10.6.8 backupd-auto is not the same as this....)


Could an expert please advise on what is wrong with this:
