Additional bit of information: even after reverting the shell to /bin/bash, the backup still fails.

It's strange, though, that amcheck doesn't see any problems. -- Toomas Aas | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * How much net work could a network work, if a network could net work?
