Where did you see the reference to SINGLEPROCESS? This command is 
outdated, I'm surprised that it works at all. If you want to run a Box 
backup daemon on the console, using the -DV options is a better way to do 
it.

 I get this on the command line, and stays there

Did you configure the client's UpdateStoreInterval to 3 seconds? If so, 
then this is expected behaviour. If not, please post your configuration 
file.

Also, it appears that your bbackupd is not configured to back up any 
files, is that correct?

Cheers, Chris.
