Ok, so I've given up for now and just switched the squeezeboxen over
to an ad-hoc backup server.

Facts thus far:

I'm getting variations of the same error message:

Transactions not supported by database at /opt/slimserver/scanner.pl line 128.
Transactions not supported by database at /usr/lib/perl5/DBI.pm line 1666.

At both these locations AUTO COMMIT gets turned off. That should only
work with storage engines capable of transactions (i. e. InnoDB) but
used to fail silently if they were not, leaving auto commit on in that
case.

I found some speculation on Google about auto commit = 0 being fatal
without transaction support in recent mysql5 versions - it certainly
looks like it but I couldn't find a changelog to back that up.

All this shouldn't matter but, since InnoDB is enabled in the server
and slimserver creates all its tables explicitly as InnoDB. I've not
yet found a way to check the type of the actual tables, though.

C.
