You are right. In the first place pcp_recovery_node should refuse to
recover the unused node. Will fix.

BTW, the cause of the original complain (wrong arguments for online
recovery script) was, if some of arguments for a recovery script is
an empty string (this could happen if the target node is in "unused"
status), it will be ignored by shell (Pgpool-II uses system()
function). I will fix the nasty bug by quoting empty arguments with
double quotations.
