Just this:

... bbstored[8948]: Incoming connection from 192.168.253.8 port 1926 (handling in child 8958)
... bbstored[8958]: Certificate CN: BACKUP-7
... bbstored[8958]: Login: Client ID 00000007, Read/Write
... bbstored[8958]: Session finished

Which is the same as what the other working machines log when they sync.

However, now that I look at it more closely, hits from this machine are
happening much more often than the others -- like every two minutes. So, I
turned on exteded logging and I get this for connects from that machine:

... bbstored[9067]: Incoming connection from 192.168.253.8 port 1941 (handling in child 9080)

Yes, 6 other clients working just fine -- but they are all Linux machines.

Right, but you'll notice that I didn't specify the -d switch to the ls command,
yet I still recieved the "deleted" name in the output. So, I don't believe that
it's being correctly marked as deleted. (Which it isn't really, since the
directory never changed, only the config file.)
