Craig, its an incremental backup however the files weren't copied in any previous backup. When I browse the backups via CGI no files are shown just the empty directories. Also in the log we can see that the directories were created - if they existed in previous backups they wouldn't be created again ...
Well, I just removed all the backups for this host and tried again, for my surprise it works ... very strange because I didn't change anything. Now I'm facing another error ... I added more directories to be copied and got a different smb error. I'll start another thread for it.
