It occurred to me that for some obscure reason the backup
system may demand a partition of its own. I tried this, and
it worked. The note in the documentation says that in the example
there 'The directories in the sample vicetab are assumed to be
separate local disk partitions.' I must confess that I did not
realise this meant that the directores in a real vicetab _must_
be separate local disk partitions if the backup system is to work.
