Hi,

if i have a location not existing locally and not existing on the store but 
activated as a location in bbackupd.conf. With this configuration box backup 
throws this errors on start.


ERROR: Failed to stat file: '/test-192.168.1.87-torsten': No such file or 
directory (2)
WARNING: Exception thrown: CommonException(OSFileError) at 
BackupClientFileAttributes.cpp(309)
ERROR: Failed to get attributes for path '/test-192.168.1.87-torsten', 
skipping location 'test-192.168.1.87-torsten'
WARNING: Failed to access directory: /test-192.168.1.87-torsten: No such file 
or directory
NOTICE: About to notify administrator about event backup-ok, running 
script '/root/exobackup/boxbackup/NotifySysadmin.sh backup-ok'


My problems:

- this errors are only printed once. The next backup runs do not consider to 
backup this location. That is not good for me. I have locations on remote 
storage mounted via samba. So only one mount error and i will never again be 
notified that this location is not backed up.

- is this the right behavior, that backup-ok is called even though there was 
this error?

I attached a little patch that makes box backup to retry this location. But i 
dont think that this is a clean way. 

Can anybody help me with this?

Thank you
  Torsten
