This is not what I saw.   I let the problem host get up to 8 days without a
backup before I realized we had a problem and I had to start manually
queueing a backup every couple days.  Backuppc appeared to be grabbing
whatever was at the top of the queue, not whatever had the least-recent
last backup.

Now that I'm no longer on MaxBackups=1, most backups are completed early in
the day so by the time I get to my desk the Current Queue is mostly empty,
and harder to observe what its behaviour is.
