Similar to what I was going to write.  Minor addition,
there could also be "garbage" file and/or directories
in the holding disk directories.  These would prevent
the removal of the dated directories.

Check the dated directories for files of size >0 with
names of the format:

  <host>.<DLE name>.<bkup level>.<chunk number>

The ".chunk number" will not be present for the first
and/or only chunk of any DLE.
