As an aside, does anyone know how to turn spotlight off of a

I had exactly the same problem. My friend, who forwarded the message
with the title "SOLVED", taught me also how to avoid this problem.
Basically, you will do:
sudo mdutil -i off /Volumes/your_volume
And you can put in /etc/crontab something like the following:
0 23 * * 6 root /usr/local/bin/psync -d / /
Volumes/your_volume > ~/Library/psynclog/psyncdaily.out 2>&1 &&
mdutil -i off /Volumes/your_volume
[You will have to create a folder named "psynclog" in your Library
folder...]
I hope this helps you.
