I'm afraid I don't yet know why the corruption is happening, if it is 
happening, so I can't help you much except to release a new build with 
this warning downgraded to a lower priority level so that it doesn't spam 
your logs so much. It doesn't affect the actual operation of Box Backup, 
so if it was working before, it will still work now, but I do want to get 
to the bottom of it, as I don't yet understand how this situation can 
happen.

Cheers, Chris.
