Jeff, I'd like to get to the bottom of this. Let's work on this off-list.
My first set of questions: - is this during a full or incremental backup? - can you send me an XferLOG file please? - what's in the attrib file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d or /usr/lib/cgi-bin/nut on the most recent backup (eg, use BackupPC_attribPrint)?
