I think the problem is that MacOS X uses an automounter, and what BackupPC is doing (viz. creating the directory before calling the checks) is creating a situation where the automounter *always* mounts the drive in the wrong place. So no amount of checks is going to work because the config is guaranteed to be wrong. -- cheers, -ambrose Yahoo and Gmail must die. Yes, I use them, but they still must die.
