You probably aren't going to the the results you want unless you do this
test on a different machine where you can remove all pooled files
between runs. Pooled files are only removed when the last link from any
pc backup has been removed, so any files that are duplicated on other
machines will remain (and be re-linked in the next run) even when you
remove all the links from one machine.

It deletes pooled files with no remaining links from pc backups.

If you can stop the backuppc service you can manually run BackuPC
nightly anytime. There is just some danger of a race condition if the
service is running and new files are being linked while it runs.
