Ah, I didn't update to 4.1.1, especially since If found the problem I didn't
want to change anything until I had it resolved. LOL
I also saw reference to creating a file in /etc/tmpfiles.d/BackupPC.conf
containing one line:
D /var/run/BackupPC 0775 root backuppc
This supposedly creates the file at a more "system" level before the script
runs. They suggested doing this instead of having your startup script create
it, but I don't know which is better.
Thanks for the reply!
