The only reason I can think of is that you have 2 config files, one with
these database and one without, and you ran the script either manually or
via cron and the config file that was used did not include these databases
so they were removed?

One thing you can look at to confirm this is the difference between the
"current-dbs.txt" and "previous-dbs.txt" files.  This is the difference
between the current script run and the previous one.  The difference is
written to "db-changes.txt", and if the file is not empty (empty means
nothing has changed), then the script detected that a database or
databases had been removed from the config file and will write out those
databases to the db-changes.txt file and then delete those files from the
file system.

All three of these files are located in the "configs" dir
(/usr/unofficial-dbs/configs).  Take a look at them and see what you find.

Feel free to contact me off-list if we need to look into this furtner.

Bill
