Okay, the problem is because I goofed. On the backup server, I have a
/backup mount with the permissions 700. Well, I implemented a new
backup solution for a different client, and inadvertently changed the
ownership from the bbstored user to a different user. Therefore, box
backup couldn't read anything in the /backup directory, including the
certs, hence the error.
I discovered this while trying to setup a new client for my laptop. It
wouldn't create the account, so I knew something was wrong. So I fixed
the permissions and all is well now.
Sorry for noise!
