Good news: I think I found and fixed the problem. I've uploaded a 
temporary build for you. If you could test it out for me that would be 
really helpful. There will also be a new snapshot in the next few days, 
and when I make the Windows binary build for that, it will also have the 
fix in it.

You can find the temporary build at:

http://www.boxbackup.org/releases/temporary/boxbackup-trunk_2395M-backup-client-mingw32.zip

Thanks for finding and reporting this problem!

Cheers, Chris.
