Use the Native SystemD Journal

Replace tail with journalctl -f -u watchbackup.service

I can't find out why tail isn't allowed, only the fix. I'll add a more fleshed out answer when I can find why, but I suspect it has something to do with the fact that tail cannot monitor a real time write, and systemd being the init system is running in real-time.
