Doh! This would be a bug for me then... bbreporter.py is *supposed* to
discard scanned data (in snapshot mode) if it encounters a new start
time in the logs so that it only reports on the most recent backup
session.

I'll see about a fix.

PS Chris (or anyone), is bbreporter.py (in contrib) likely to make any
of the official debs/rpms?

Thanks,
