Odd one here, and I hope someone can advise.

I was trying, over the phone, to sort out a backup problem that one of my
clients was having, and in pulling all the information together we found
that the modification time of the Entourage database was not changing
between launches.  So when the backup was run the files were not being
copied, even though emails had been sent and received when Erage was
running.

I checked that the clock on the desktop was changing correctly, and that we
were looking at the correct database (been caught with that one before).

The backup is a simple network drive (Buffalo) and the software is the free
SilverKeeper from LaCie.  The three other scripts work fine, and the
customer is very careful to quit Erage before running the script.

Before I take a trip over to the client, has anyone seen something like this
before, and what was the conclusion, as obviously any backup system might
have problems if the modification time does not change.

Many thanks in anticipation, and the compliments of the season to everyone.
