Why do you assume something is wrong with how you are using the
program?

The error message is saying that you have a bunch of files in the pc
tree that are linked to each other but not to the pool (actually there
is a small bug in my program in that the attrib file should say "VALID
pc file" not "INVALID pc file - I will fix that). Such cases can
happen when a backup fails to link to the file. Alternatively, it
could mean the attrib file is broken (in an upcoming version, I will
separate these cases...)

Can you confirm if those files are indeed in the pool?

You can use the following script to find the MD5sum name and then look
in the pool tree to see if the file exists and the inodes are the
same.

----------------------------

#!/usr/bin/perl
my $bpc = BackupPC::Lib->new("", "", "", 1) || #No user check
           die("BackupPC::Lib->new failed\n");

use strict;
use warnings;

use lib "/usr/share/BackupPC/lib";
use BackupPC::Lib;
use BackupPC::jLib;

my $md5 = Digest::MD5->new;
my @result = $bpc->File2MD5($md5, $ARGV[0]);
print "$result[0]\n";
#print "$result[0]\t$result[2]\n";
