This is fixed but somehow I didn't add it to the ChangeLog.
Bernhard Ott and Tino Schwarze debugged the problem.  I'll
update the ChangeLog for the next release.

Look at the dirRead() function in lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm.  It does
the check at runtime (when $TopDir is known).  In 3.1.0 the bug
was that the check was done at startup (in the BEGIN block) on
the directory that BackupPC was started in, not $TopDir (which
is often a different file system).

Thanks to Tino and Bernhard.
