Dear Nikoluas,
thank you for your time and effort to reply. I really appreciate you help. 
Thank you. 

A general question, under normal operations, What does fsck mean when it 
says "[fsck] Deleted spurious object"
is it removing items on the S3 drive that are no longer in the local 
metadata file?

I thought that the mount would always use the local metadata when running 
"mount.s3ql --allow-other s3://xxxx/ /folder/"

I will obtain the all the logs and send them in the next email.

Thanks again,
Warren
