[Box Backup] bbackupquery strange issue

Hi,

That's probably the problem. There are two different ways to get 
information about a file or directory. Box Backup picks one depending on 
whether it works or not on the machine where it was compiled. That way 
might or might not work on another machine. I guess that it does work on 
CentOS, and not on Fedora, which caused your CentOS build to fail on 
Fedora.

Ben, perhaps if we detect HAVE_VALID_DIRENT_D_TYPE and compile with it 
enabled, then we should add a check that d_type is correct for the "." and 
".." directories, and maybe for a known file as well? Or else just use 
stat() on all platforms?

Cheers, Chris.
