Just noticed the /var/log/backuppc/LOG file for BackupPC is pumping
these out mercilessly:
2008-12-10 06:49:02 BackupPC_link got error -4 when calling
MakeFileLink(/mnt/backup/pc/shuttle
<http://adamsmdk/backuppc/BackupPC_Admin.cgi?host=shuttle>/0/f%2f/fhome/fmadams/f.beagle/fTextCache/f97/f1a4401-b13f-4ebb-bcc9-971de65dae6d,
6c34911b58a200c2e8615c3d37c8e33d, 1)
And /home/madams/.beagle is supposed to be on the exclude list!
I need a little help here. This thing is getting out of hand.
