I recently upgraded from F10 to F11 via preupgrade and everything
appeared to go fine but now the backups of my PC keep failing with the
following error in the log file:

Backup failed on steve (Tar exited with error 512 () status)

Info tar says there are only 3 possible exit codes; 0, 1 and 2 but that

"If `tar' has invoked a subprocess and that subprocess exited with a
nonzero exit code, `tar' exits with that code as well."

My $TarClientCmd is:

/usr/bin/sudo $tarPath -c -v -f - -C $shareName --totals

Here are a couple of other pieces of info which may or may not be
relevant:
- The backups of my wife's Vista PC works OK.
- The upgrade from F10->F11 chaged the name of my backup media
  from /media/disk to /media/<long UUID> so I changed $TopDir
  accordingly.
- The sever is version 3.1.0.

Can anyone tell me what a 512 error is or give my any insight into the
problem?

Thanks,
Steve
