Ok, sorted it out, I just replaced the "/" with a "!"
sed 's/{/db/sybbackup/}{rm /db/sybbackup}/' removeold.txt >> rmscript
sed 's!/db/sybbackup!rm /db/sybbackup!' removeold.txt >> rmscript

HISTORY
The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool. It was prompted
by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.
