yes well, never seem to have the time when I need to get my writing done... identified the problem: partition was full (mail attack). OOo couldn't write the backps, and when it did the recovery, it erased the backup files before they were actually restored. It's a bug I guess ,so I will file one upstream when I have a chance.
