After you remove data from the backuppc/pc/<hostname>/<num>/ directory,
you also need to run the BackupPC_nightly which will remove the files
from the pool/cpool directory as needed.

You browse the directories in the backup folders and delete random files
from the backup, or something like:
cd backuppc/pc/host
rm -vi `find . |grep .iso$`
Which will delete all the iso files for that host. Then you can run the
nightly script, and it will actually free up the space.

Adam
