Hmmm. Something magic must have happened. The cron job ran and the backup was updated. The only thing I changed was to set SEND_MAIL_ON_NO_ERROR to Yes. (By the way, where does that mail get sent?)I don't understand *why* it worked but it did work. Do you want to leave it as is or would you like to see if we can figure out what happened?
