I've done further work on this and I'm still getting the same result.
So, basic information first.

Fedora Core 2, and fully updated. Installed flexbackup-1.2.1-1.noarch.
rpm. Trying to backup [from flexbackup.conf]
$set{'docs'} = "/mnt/windowsf/documents";
$set{'boztu'} = "/home/boztu /mnt/windowsf/documents";
>From fstab.conf
/dev/hde7               /mnt/windowsf           vfat    auto,exec,umask=000 0 0 [NB - 
line
wrapped]

|------------------------------------------------------------
| Backup start: Tue Jul 27 09:47:08 2004
| Backup end:   Tue Jul 27 09:47:19 2004
|------------------------------------------------------------
| Compressing log (boztu.0.200407270940.gz)
| Linking boztu.latest.gz -> boztu.0.200407270940.gz
|------------------------------------------------------------
Thats the full backup done.

A few minutes later, after a few minor changes, a differential backup
undertaken with the command;-
./flexbackup -set boztu -differential 
[as su]

And this is the result;-
|------------------------------------------------------------
| Backup start: Tue Jul 27 09:56:19 2004
| Backup end:   Tue Jul 27 09:56:36 2004
|------------------------------------------------------------
|------------------------------------------------------------
| Backup of: /mnt/windowsf/documents
Can't do a level 1 backup - no level 0 timestamp found at ./flexbackup
line 2288.

/home/boztu is backed up, but it fails every time at attempting to do a
differential or incremental backup of /mnt/windowsf/documents and with
the same error message too.

Can anyone help me sort this out please and get this working properly?

Sharon.
