I took a different approach for my VyOS (well, Ubiquiti EdgeOS) routers.
I use the in-built configuration backup to copy the configuration to the
rancid host:

set system config-management commit-archive location
'scp://user:password@rancidhost:/var/lib/rancid/ccgs/configs/vyoshost.domain.name'

I also made a few changes to /opt/vyatta/sbin/vyatta-commit-push.pl,
changing it to use the commands form of configuration (note also the
change from showCfg to showConfig):

my $cmd = 'cli-shell-api showConfig --show-active-only --show-commands';

and changing the save filename:

    #my $cmd = "curl -s -T $tmp_push_file $uri/$save_file";
    my $cmd = "curl -s -T $tmp_push_file $uri";

Then my vyosrancid file is just:

#!/usr/bin/perl
# Just copy the existing file to .new
use File::Copy qw(copy);

my $host = $ARGV[0];

copy $host, $host . ".new";

exit(0);

Obviously this isn't for everyone, being a push rather than pull setup,
but it does the job for me.
