The OP has bought himself an external HD (to be able to do a backup of

Exactly! :-)
(I suspect that someone like Carlos E will be able to dredge up from his
extensive archives the appropriate messages which provided the "fix"
which the OP could apply to overcome his problem.)
I'll keep my fingers crossed. As an alternative I will have to fire up my old
Celeron 400 Mhz with 128 MB ram (which I guess will not run recent versions
of SuSE), and use it as a backup media (scp over ethernet). Speaking of
which: Is the a size limit for a tar-file? (can I make one big tar of my
entire /home ~ around 15 - 30 GB depending of how much I clean up).
Loking very much forward to the 10.3 upgrade - and to a better backup
routine :-)
Best,
