I looked my configuration over again to check for uppercase C etc. It 
turns out that things work so much better when I only use one '/' to 
separate directories in the paths :)

For some reason I had C://blabla - I think I started out with 
backslashes, and when that did not work I escaped them with another one, 
and when that did not work I substituted with forward slashes.

Now I have substituted '//' with '/' and it works :)

There is nothing in the old backups that I need - I have deleted the 
volume and started over.

Thanks for input.
