 Torsten reports:

 ''if i have a location not existing locally and not existing on the store
 but
 activated as a location in bbackupd.conf. With this configuration box
 backup
 throws this errors on start.''

  * ''this errors are only printed once. The next backup runs do not
 consider to
 backup this location. That is not good for me. I have locations on remote
 storage mounted via samba. So only one mount error and i will never again
 be
 notified that this location is not backed up.''

  * ''is this the right behavior, that backup-ok is called even though
 there was
 this error?''

 ''I attached a little patch that makes box backup to retry this location.
 But i
 dont think that this is a clean way.''
