How do I run BackupPC_nightly (or potentially just
BackupPC_refCountUpdate) to make sure that all pool files with zero
ref counts are removed.
i.e. clean up the pool to remove pool files that have already been
tagged for deletion.

Based on reading the documentation, it seems that one would have to
run BackupPC_nightly twice, once to identify files with zero ref
counts and a second time to delete the pool files.

I ran the following twice:
  /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_nightly -m -P 1 0 255
And still ended up with poolCnt file entries of form:

    01344341ea84575a6428f4ecca41ef87 => 0
    00845155cfbee0dac05abbff839e2da8 => 0
    01fbb6282550d8e0ddba2b4be990f46e => 0
    00e2d7808dc683b79996adca3ff05684 => 0

More specifically, what is the *right* command to run to just do the
following:
1. Remove pool files that have zero ref counts in the corresponding
   poolCnt file (in the pool tree)
2. Update the poolCnt file to delete the zero ref count entries.

NOTE: I do *not* need (or want) to:
A. Update or synchronize the ref counts from the pc tree
B. Check md5sums on the pool
C. Calculate pool size
D. Run an fsck
etc.

All I want to do is to remove the pool files that have already been
identified as ready for deletion.

Thanks,
Jeff
