[Box Backup] Running bbstored as a user

Hi Magnus,

That should work, but be aware that if Box Backup hits an unreadable file, 
it may abort the backup run. It used to, and I think we fixed that 
problem in 0.10, but I'm not sure.

Sorry, no other options yet (except syslog). We are planning to write a 
logging system that would allow log messages to be directed wherever you 
want, including multiple destinations, but nobody has got around to it 
yet. You're welcome to volunteer :-)

Cheers, Chris.
