Do they show up in the normal listing with an 'X' flag?
I can't remember, but I don't think they had the 'X' flag.

I'm getting the following error message in my logs:
May 27 22:40:15 server bbackupd[1910]: Exceeded storage limits on server
-- not uploading changes to files
I received this for many days, but I've been too busy to look into it
until now.

When I checked it out last night, some of the files I believe C1800.dmp
and perhaps edc_files_tar.gz did not have the X, but I could be wrong.
I just ran bbackupctl and this is the output I received:
rprice@server:/home/Public$ sudo bbackupctl sync
Using configuration file /etc/box/bbackupd.conf
Daemon configuration summary:
AutomaticBackup = true
UpdateStoreInterval = 3600 seconds
MinimumFileAge = 21600 seconds
MaxUploadWait = 86400 seconds
Succeeded.

My concern was why it was telling me I was out of space, when my file
usage should have been back down to what it was before.

Well you would certainly know better than me.
I have attached two syslog files that I ran through grep to extract just
the bbackupd entries.
The part where it gets the "SSL err during Load certificates:", was
probably just after I upgraded to version 6 and forgot to put sudo in
front of the command when I ran something. For sure I noticed it talking
about removing the redundant location after I switched to version 6.
I had also deleted more files last night, I'm not sure if it was a
significant amount. It looks like the problem went away after I started
using version 6.
The redundant location did not have any files in it AFAIK, but I probably
did not check correctly. I think it was there for quite some time, and
AFAIK wasn't causing any problems.
