check your config file for the specific server in question
I found this same behaviour, it is if you have a null path at end of
stanza of paths to backup
so what it is literally telling you, is that it finished the first
(real, desired) work
but failed on the (unwanted, null) work
hence the confusion
In my case, I think the null field was appended via the web interface,
by accident, when I was doing initial config / setup of paths to be
backed up. At first I thought it was an rsync issue, but I had
identical behaviour with "tar" as well. Lots of fun! :-)
Took a few weeks before the answer jumped out at me..
