Hi, all, I recently reinstalled BackupPC on a new backup server, and it's running well (backing up over 1 TB of data daily/weekly). That is, except for some errors for one of the backed up client partitions. Here is an extract of the XferLOG (things in angle brackets are my own munging; the f<1>/f<2>... sequence corresponds to <long_path_...>):

It looks like BackupPC is trying to make a link from the previous full (3) to the new one. I've verified that the file in the previous full exists. The only notable thing I see is perhaps an excess of forward slashes, literal in the "new//" (but this shouldn't really matter...), and a URL-mangled one (%2f). All the other partitions are backed up without errors, and as you can see, not all files in the same directory present this error... So I'm stumped. Has anyone seen this before?
