Can you post both config files?

It should have done. The store account is fine (from your check), so it 
appears that it's all backed up valid file, and they're not marked as 
deleted. Therefore the housekeeping process won't delete it until 
bbackupd marks it as deleted.

Depends on how you did things in the configuration files. If you 
deleted a location, it'll take about 2 days (of continuous running) or 
so to remove that location from the store. If it's excluding a file or 
directory, then within about six hours.
