So, I've recently gotten backuppc installed on OSX as the server, backing up the local machine (my laptop) to an external firewire drive, and it works great. I've even developed a simple script that prevents the backups from occurring when the drive is disconnected.

However, after today's full backup, I went to browse back through the backup to see how it all looked, and I get this error in the cgi:

Error: Can't browse bad directory name /

Here are the settings from my configuration:

$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync';
$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l root $host $rsyncPath $argList+'; $Conf{RsyncClientRestoreCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l root $host $rsyncPath $argList+';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
  '/Users/kimball',
  '/usr/local/mysql/data',
  '/System/Library/Fonts'
];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
  '/Users/kimball' => [
    'Desktop/TV',
    'Desktop/Downloads',
    'Documents/Parallels/XP/winxp.hdd',
    'Library/Caches'
  ]
};

There are no errors in the logs, and the directories created look like this:

MainEngineering:/Volumes/Honker/Backups/pc/192.168.0.21/10 root# ls -la
total 32
drwxr-x---    8 unknown  unknown   272 Sep 24 15:55 .
drwxr-x---   27 unknown  unknown   918 Sep 24 16:13 ..
-rw-r-----    1 unknown  unknown  6148 Sep 24 15:31 .DS_Store
-rw-r-----    2 unknown  unknown   109 Sep 24 15:55 attrib

drwxr-x--- 61 unknown unknown 2074 Sep 24 15:55 f%2fusr%2flocal% 2fmysql%2fdata


As you can see, the owner and group are set to unknown:unknown - the backup process is definitely running as the backuppc user, so I'm not sure why the ownership is being messed up like this.

Thoughts?

Thanks!
