I've frequently managed to cause two backuppc_dump's to run in parallel
where one was scheduled by backuppc and one was run manually by me from
the command line. It would be nice if backuppc_dump could do a simple
check to see if the new directory already exists, and if so, simple exit
(or error and exit).

Mainly I run backups manually so I can see exactly what is happening
during the backup and where/why it is failing or taking so long.
Sometimes I remember to use the gui to stop backups for that host for a
period of time, and again, sometimes that isn't long enough...

Regards,
Adam
