I have one server where the background queue is *huge* (hundreds of
hosts, small segment below with actual host names trimmed, sorry)

"backupType" => "auto","reqTime" => "1296592200","user" => "BackupPC","host" => 
"nik[snip]
"backupType" => "auto","reqTime" => "1296592200","user" => "BackupPC","host" => 
"med[snip]
"backupType" => "auto","reqTime" => "1296592200","user" => "BackupPC","host" => 
"app[snip]
"backupType" => "auto","reqTime" => "1296592200","user" => "BackupPC","host" => 
"tm2[snip]
"backupType" => "auto","reqTime" => "1296592200","user" => "BackupPC","host" => 
"tra[snip]
"backupType" => "auto","reqTime" => "1296592200","user" => "BackupPC","host" => 
"tm2[snip]

Got that from "sudo -u backuppc BackupPC_serverMesg status queues |
sed 's/},{/\n/g' | less", and all those hosts show up green in the
Host Summary.

The thing is, almost none of them actually need to be backed up.
Many of them have been backed up within the last 0.1 days, in fact,
and my period is 0.7

Any idea what's going on?
