This is very strange. For some reason this file appears to BackupPC
with a file type "directory" instead of a regular file. That means
the attrib file has a file type "directory", instead of a regular
file.
Is there any chance the /backuppc file system has suffered some
corruption? I notice that the directory mtime is quite recent:
was this file system copied or moved a few weeks ago?
Could you email me (offlist) the attrib file in:
/backuppc/pc/client/65/f%2f/fUser/fU papers/fUhelps et al./fother
journals/attrib
(it only contains file names and file meta data like mtime, uid, gid).
Also, I am curious what is shown in the XferLOG file for the
Lindquist.rtf file when backup 65 was created. Can you look
in XferLOG.65 for Lindquist.rtf and the few lines before/after?
Finally, I am curious why you are using xtar to backup and
rsync to restore. Did you recently switch from xtar to
rsync?
