I finally got this working... I wound up clearing out the backup list and starting one directory at a time. Everything worked but /root. I ended up getting rid of some really ancient and innocuous-looking files from there, and now it all seems to work.
I got rid of a dump.log from 2008, some df and fdisk information, a few old package lists (I have a script that backs them up to /var/backups now and not a problem backing those up, a vmware-any-any-update and a vmmon-only directory. That's it. I also changed up the order (as a result of doing one directory at a time). Search me why it works... Thanks for everyone's help. I wish I could come up with a causative factor, but I can't. --b On Sat, Nov 13, 2010 at 6:31 PM, Jeffrey J. Kosowsky <backu...@kosowsky.org> wrote: > Tyler J.
