Yes, it's in the backup! Just kidding, they are on another remote server 
(and not on the same disk anyway).

It appears that my local archive is corrupted, the directory called 'e2' 
is actually a big file right now, and according to 'du -sm' I'm 20 gig 
short on my local side. :-)

I guess my best bet is to rsync the 20 gig back locally (no boxbackup SW 
on remote machine), and take it from there. Oh god, that will only take 
me 24 hour or so...
