[Box Backup] constant scan of local files on server

[boxbackup@fluffy.co.uk]

First, I wanted to thank you for your assistance. I'd like to say I rarely
need help, but I can't ;)

As you mentioned earlier, running a test may not have properly killed it
(I now realize I ran the test for the client, not the server), but here's
the ps output. I won't kill anything until I hear back from you.

backup:/etc/init.d# ps aux | grep bb
root      5996  0.0  0.3   6764  1968 ?        S    12:33   0:00

root      5997  0.0  0.3   6720  1760 ?        S    12:33   0:09

In my opinion, it's a little awkwardly written/arranged and I would have
done it quite differently, but it did help:

I'm setting up the init.d entries for bbstored now.
