Hmmmmm - I've NEVER seen anything in either of those directories.

I DID CHANGE $TOPDIR after the install (but, I THOUGHT before I had
actually run BackupPC). If that's the issue, is there a way to recover
from that?

I did try the links as the BackupPC user - I'll retry them tonight and
also try the df -i.

Thanks!

Clay
