[Box Backup] Boxbackup user

[Timothy Wilson]

Hello Chris,

It was complaining about a lock file. I removed it, restarted the
daemon and it all worked. But the file name wasn't appearing on the
console, it was only after I got your message that I thought to look
in the logs..

Sorry for such a silly problem. I'm still getting used to box.

Kind regards,
Timothy.
