That is exactly what appears to be happening. I configured a holding
disk in an attempt to eliminate that as a possible cause. In my case,
the problem is intermittent with everything working fine for some time
and then I a failure. The failure may be some file systems on a given
host or most/all of the backup run.
Today, I had two file systems fail on the again on gilgamesh
and I began checking the various logs for issue. What I found in
"sendbackup.lotsofnumbers.debug" is:

Anyone have any ideas? This only happens occasionally and I haven't
yet been able to draw a correlation.
Thanks,
