Juergen,
I agree the trace is strange - there should only be a single run of
BackupPC_Admin per request. Could the URLs for images be incorrectly
pointed at the CGI script? What is the value of $Conf{CgiImageDirURL}?
What happens when you use wget as the client? Using wget will give you
more control over what exactly the client requests.
