I am having trouble making my backup work.  I have been running for months with
no trouble.  I mounted a usb drive and it went belly up and cannot unmount it.
The drive is no longer attached.  I have tried umount -f and it still persists.
I'll probably have to reboot at some point but to get around that I excluded
/mnt/usb and then tried /mnt.  Neither will allow the backup to continue,
I have /mnt excluded and not mnt.  Does the exclusion need to be quoted?

Here is the log...
