BackupPC_nightly (which deletes files from the pool that are no longer 
needed) and BackupPC_link (which links duplicate files to the pool) 
can't run at the same time.  If you have a number of BackupPC_link 
processes waiting to run (configurable via the "MaxPendingCmds" 
option),  no more backups will start.

How long does your BackupPC_nightly take to run?  Perhaps you would be 
better off setting "BackupPCNightlyPeriod" > 1.
