I'm having a similar issue: 007-02-05 16:57:21 BackupPC_trashClean failed to empty /usr/local/ backuppc/data/trash 2007-02-05 17:02:21 BackupPC_trashClean failed to empty /usr/local/ backuppc/data/trash 2007-02-05 17:07:22 BackupPC_trashClean failed to empty /usr/local/ backuppc/data/trash 2007-02-05 17:12:22 BackupPC_trashClean failed to empty /usr/local/ backuppc/data/trash 2007-02-05 17:17:22 BackupPC_trashClean failed to empty /usr/local/ backuppc/data/trash 2007-02-05 17:22:22 BackupPC_trashClean failed to empty /usr/local/ backuppc/data/trash Looking at the trash directory, there are a bunch of directories of varying ages. There are no files in the directories, but they can't be removed because their link count isn't 2. For example: [nebula]$ cd 1161071499_918_0/ [nebula]$ ls f%2f [nebula]$ sudo rm -rf f%2f Password: rm: f%2f/fusr/fshare/femacs/f21.4/flisp/fobsolete: Directory not empty rm: f%2f/fusr/fshare/femacs/f21.4/flisp: Directory not empty rm: f%2f/fusr/fshare/femacs/f21.4: Directory not empty rm: f%2f/fusr/fshare/femacs: Directory not empty rm: f%2f/fusr/fshare/fthemes/fBluecurve: Directory not empty rm: f%2f/fusr/fshare/fthemes: Directory not empty rm: f%2f/fusr/fshare: Directory not empty rm: f%2f/fusr: Directory not empty rm: f%2f: Directory not empty [nebula]$ ls -la f%2f/fusr/fshare/femacs/f21.4/flisp/fobsolete total 8 drwxr-x--- 5 backuppc backuppc 512 Oct 17 00:53 . drwxr-x--- 3 backuppc backuppc 6144 Oct 17 00:53 ..

Someone with a better understanding of hardlinks and BackupPC can probably expand on this, but it is my guess that something happened out of order or was interrupted preventing the correct unlinking of the directories. You might take a look at what is in the trash directory to see if you have a similar situation. I haven't figured out how to remedy this yet.
