I'm getting a fatal error when backing up an empty directory.
BackupPC server is running Debian Sarge (backuppc 2.1.1-2sarge2)
Server being backed up is running Debian Etch (rsync 2.6.9-2)

Surely it must be legitimate to backup up an empty directory.  Is this a 
bogus error message or maybe rsync rysnc returns an error code that 
older backuppc versions don't handle correctly ???

Any ideas how to fix this (besides removing the share from the backup 
list) ???
