I would really like to get the pooling to work.  Do i need to install IO::Dirent first?  If so, how do I do that?  I looked around a bit and could not really find much about it.  I am running Ubuntu Server 8.10.

It looks like BackupPC_nightly is failing to traverse the pool.
This could be due to a bug in IO::Dirent that causes it to fail
on certain file systems.  There is a test in 3.1.0 to check if
IO::Dirent works, but it checks ".", not $TopDir.  That bug is
fixed in CVS.

Do you have IO::Dirent installed and is your pool on XFS?

If so, change this line in lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm:

   $IODirentOk = 1;

to:

   $IODirentOk = 0;
