fsck comes back clean. even when run forced.

I doubt this is a backuppc problem, I'm just at a loss where to look. This 
worked fine on this box for 18months +, there's no changes to the config files, 
they pass both diff and md5 against their backups.

FWIW, it's running SLES 10, on an HP385 with 6x300G SCSI, RAID 5, ext3.
