i cannot imagine how this should have happened, unless the files were
hardlinked, since the code is:

 $SYSCONF_DIR/disk

and there is clearly no wildcard in there :-)

You could try to stick something like "echo backup >> /tmp/foo" at the
start of your backup config file and "echo the_real_thing >> /tmp/foo
at the start of your /etc/powersave/disk and check the contents of /tmp/foo
to verify which of the config files was really used.

Looking at the scripts, i can not imagine how this should happen, since
we do not use any wildcard matches for the config files, but there might
of course be a bug hidden in there somewhere...
