I changed the read-error part from:
subject = subjtmpl & " (read errors)"
body = "Errors occurred reading some files or directories " & _
"for backup on " & hostname & "." _ & vbCrLf & _
vbCrLf & _
"===================================" & vbCrLf & _
"THESE FILES ARE NOT BEING BACKED UP" & vbCrLf & _
"===================================" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
"Check the logs on "&hostname&" for the files and " & _
"directories which caused" & vbCrLf & _
"these errors, and take appropriate action." & vbCrLf & _
vbCrLf & _
"Other files are being backed up." & vbCrLf
SendMail from,sendto,subject,body
to
subject = subjtmpl & " (read errors)"
body = "Errors occured reading some files or directories for
backup on "&hostname&"." _
& vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
"===================================" & vbCrLf & _
"THESE FILES ARE NOT BEING BACKED UP" & vbCrLf & _
"===================================" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
"Check the logs on "&hostname&" for the files and
directories which caused" & _
"these errors, and take appropraite action." & vbCrLf &
vbCrLf & _
"Other files are being backed up." & vbCrLf
SendMail from,sendto,subject,body
The latter section I had in my older notify script. I couldn't locate
the fault in the one supplied, but I'm not familiar with the language of
these scripts.

Everytime it runs, I got these errors. So it thinks the file is moved
everytime?
BackupLocations section:
GTO
{
Path = D:\GTO
}
Foto's & Afbeeldingen
{
Path = D:\Foto's & Afbeeldingen
}
Application Data
{
Path = C:\Documents and Settings\Makaveli\Application Data
ExcludeDir = C:\Documents and Settings\Makaveli\Application
Data\Skype
ExcludeFilesRegex = .(lock)$
ExcludeFilesRegex = .(.sqlite-journal)$
}
Bureaublad
{
Path = C:\Documents and Settings\Makaveli\Bureaublad
}
Hope this helps.
Thanks in advance,
Roy

Box Backup uses the file ID to track renamed files. It keeps a database of
file IDs by name. If the ID changes between runs, this may indicate that
the file was moved to a different directory. However, it should not change
during a run. The only case where I've seen this is when I've created two
locations using the same path, hence the suggestion in the error message.
Please could you tell us what's in the BackupLocations section of your
bbackupd.conf?
Cheers, Chris.
