Good catch, that was it.

Just for the record: I instructed the client to user virtualmountpoints
instead, and everything appears to be working.


Oh and by the way. The same client has another issue: if no file
on any filesystem has changed, the backup is reported has having
saved zero bytes (which is fine), and the final status as reported
in the SUMMARY table is not successful. There was no error nor
warning - it's just that no data was transferred. Is this by design,
can it be fixed, or is there any workaround (other than relying on
dsmaccnt.log)?


Bye,
