Ok Dave, you're right... :-)
No ssh, as this is on one machine (our server).
Well, basically everything seems to be ok as dirvish does backup if run
by hand from a terminal. But anyway...
This is in /etc/dirvish/master.conf:
bank:
/mnt/backups
image-default: %Y%m%d-%H%M
log: gzip
index: gzip
xdev: 1
exclude:
lost+found/
expire-default: +6 days
Runall:
backup-home
backup-klein
backup-opt
backup-root
backup-usr
backup-var
There is only little in each vault's default.conf, for instance in
backup-var there are two excludes:
client: server03
tree: /var
exclude:
tmp/*
spool/ltspswap/*.swap
Now, when I let this run by cron, I will receive a message as follows:

As you can see, dirvish doesn't take any time making a backup or
anything but just says "that's it".
Strange to me...
