Do you see a message like "About to notify administrator about event 
backup-ok" somewhere before it, e.g. at the end of your first backup run? 

If so, then that's what it's expected to do: suppress a second and 
subsequent notifications about the same event, until the state changes 
(e.g. a backup fails). I've reduced this from a warning to an info message 
in the case of backup-ok events, as we don't normally care about them 
being suppressed.

If you don't have any such message before this one, then please let me 
know, as that would be a bug.

Cheers, Chris.
