Don't use bpend_notify to do the delete, especially if you are deleting
everything in a directory. You may want to consider using a
User-Initiated backup instead and running a script on the client to
manage the process. you could also use bparchive from the client which
will remove only files that have been backed up successfully.

There are pros and cons to each option.
