And it would make a lot more sense :-( orry, sometimes I fall into the trap
of thinking the problem is in an areas I don't understand, when the problem
is stareing me in the face in a place I should understand.

Thansk for the help. amcheck is happy with this, and I've already run 2
extra "daily" backups today in an atempt to get this working. I'll just
wait for the normal nightly run, and see waht happens.

I expect this to work, though. Thansk to everyone who have been so patient
with me on this.
